[meteorite-list] Posting sources

Sounds like a good solution Matt.

I would not want my name published on a website that I provide consignments 
if I did that sort of thing.  If I was a buyer and saw that dealer A had a 
specimen acquired from dealer B, I would just contact dealer B and see if 
they had any more and eliminate dealer A's mark up.

Would anyone expect Marting to reveal his source for his new Martian 
Meteorite?  Or Adam for NWA 5000?  I would bet that they will not reveal 
their planetary sources any quicker than I will.

Provenance, in my opinion, exists where old labels accompany the specimen, 
or it came from a museum or famous old collector of yesteryear.
