[meteorite-list] ANOTHER QUESTION

[Chris Peterson]

Jerry-

I don't think I said that fireballs don't generate meteorites; if I did, 
I certainly didn't mean it! I was only saying that _most_ fireballs 
probably don't. I did say that most meteorites probably come from 
meteors that would be described as fireballs, but not from meteor shower 
fireballs.
