[meteorite-list] Ben Guerir TKW and TAW

[Jeff Grossman]

Gee, I would define Total Available Weight as that material which is 
accessible and ready for use in scientific research.  This would include 
the pieces in Morocco museums, but not pieces in the hands of collectors.

Availability is a matter of perspective and access, which is different for 
different people.
