[meteorite-list] A statement in regards to NWA 3133

[Jeff Grossman]

This sort of pairing question is not really the domain of the NomCom.  It 
has to be worked out in the literature.  Once the meteorites are announced, 
which these now are, we do not consider publication of supplemental 
information like pairings.  The exception would be if somebody wanted to 
apply for a "formal" pairing of another stone to these two, under our new 
guideline.  But that can't happen for NWA's like these because they lack 
geographic information.

That said, I have to disagree with Adam... the two descriptions are 
extremely similar to each other.
