You are correct Mike. It is not up to Steve Arnold or anyone else in Chi=
cago to decide what the name will be. It is not up to any one person eit=
her. The Nomenclature Committee gets together every so often and votes o=
n names Many times a meteorite is sold before it is named and many times=
 the Nomenclature Committee has decided on a different name then the name=
 used by Meteorite dealers and collectors. Hadeja.....:-) will have to w=
ait untill it gets voted on before it has any "official" name. =20

My advise there is maybe you should try to more thoughts in your e-mails =
to List members which often come off, in my opinion, as rude and to quote=
 you, that you do not know what you are saying. You are about to become =
the only person I have ever blocked twice. =20

However, I would like to congradulate Eric Twelker for getting this meteo=
rite months before anyone else. It is common for one dealer to get a met=
eorite before anyone else, but usually in a timespan of weeks. Eric Twel=
ker has done a great job and getting us nice meteorites for our collectio=
ns. Tagish Lake being another great example. So the question I would ha=
ve is not, what will the name be, but rather, what will Eric find next? =20
