Rich,
After your first response, I raised the issue once again on ACRA and
received this reply from Tom King. I expect everyone knows Tom, so will not bother
to introduce him. I have to say that the tone of your reply read as defensive
and made me wonder if you are not a little too close to the relic-collectors?
Moreover, communication threads on these online bulletins assume a life of
their own and there is no rule that denied me the right to slip away into
another thought or two. Idea threads often move into different areas, such as the
connection between criminals and artifact-hunting. While you may not like
it, the connection is apparently well established and worth discussing.

<<Why in the world would anybody flame you, Ron? I can imagine disagreeing
with you, but the association of artifact (historic and prehistoric)
trafficking and drug trafficking is well enough established anecdotally that I can't
imagine why anyone (without a guilty conscience) would get mad about it. It
was a widely reported association 15 years ago when I did a study of
collector behavior for SAA and NPS (which never got published -- too kind to the
collectors, I figured). And it seems intuitively obvious; you're out in the
woods cooking meth or something, why NOT dig up some stuff to sell?
