Hmmm. I think Steve is trying to prove the value of amateurs in meteorite
recovery (it doesn't need to be proven - even the most hardened anti-amateur
meteoriticists grudgingly acknowledge the role of the amateur/public). But
should we consider, also, those government employees in Antarctica who have
picked up many thousands of meteorites?
