[meteorite-list] "meteor" now to include "meteorites"?

[E.P. Grondine]

Hi all - 

I don't think so. Period.

That's not what Richard Norton taught in "Rocks from Space". 

Will someone here please set the IAU straight on this?

How about operationally, if it hits frei-punkt, its a meteorite, if it leaves a hole in the ground or airbursts with enough force to make it to the ground, its an impacting asteroid or comet fragment.
