Chris and Robert make very good points in their postings regarding the
recent Antiques Roadshow broadcast. I found myself yelling at the
television in utter disgust on Monday night and planned to write. Thanks
to the prompt action of Jon Leader and others, I was goaded to do so,
mentioning, of course, in my letter that I am a sustaining member of WGBH
who is in the process of reconsidering support for an organization that
shows so little respect for cultural property. Since it's all about greed,
it seems, I figure, get 'em in the pocketbook!
