I am aware of this. A very busy industry creating reproductions as well. I was going to buy some. Changed my mind. I have a brother who lives in China, quite a few years now. He bought a few things. I criticised him for purchasing fossil material for his 6 year old son.

Where? I thought it was Robyn. I'll go fer robust debate any day. Mind you, puerile flaming ain't my thing, generally.

PKB. Are you threatening me with violence? What's "....upside the head..."?
