Well, seriously, who "let it out"? In my personal understanding the NomCom of the Meteoritical Society will not necessarily care for any specific reasoning of the early finders/dealers/traders. They have to stick to and obey their own rules, and then, of course, allow some qualified discussion in between the board members, if there are different opinions, but only to come to an agreeable conclusion in the end... Don´t you think so?

Just my 2 Euro-Cents :-)
