Well, as a new person on the list, I was pretty surprised at the tone the
list took for a few days after the Lorton fall... My first thought after
reading some of the messages was "parasite, vulture"... And I nearly
dropped my subscription. But I thought, well, I'm sure not all collectors
are like that...
Clear Skies!

I didn't mean to slight any hunter or dealer by my suggestion that one

I'm a firm believer that sufficient samples need to be submitted for

that feel they need to horde every milligram for no reason other than to keep
it out of the collector market.
