And I think that Mr.Badford's position is not directed against
collectors or dealers but against looting and the destruction of
heritage.If there were no relation ,down with Mr Badford.The problem
is that there is a relation.There are good collectors and there are
good dealers. There are irresponsible collectors,and irresponsible
dealers.

road before, it will not get any better only worse, and it is already
bad enough. There is no way to resolve it as there is little or no
common ground between the parties involved. It does not even belong
here, as this is not a forum for discussion of
collectors "ethics "what ever the merits of either side in the
discussion. Those who feel strongly about it might consider starting
a new group. However there are already a number of other venues
blogs etc. for such discussions, as the people involved well know.
Can you end it before people start to leave the group in disgust
again.
