Are they all criticising Obama too for similar reasons? <br /><br />Or is it just one small group in the US collecting world (who apparently considers itself to be some kind of an elite group elected to speak for the rest) that has problems following the laws? <br /><br />If the latter, perhaps you would amend the title of the post to reflect that? <br /><br />You persist in talking about "Archaeology uber alles", are you not here guilty of just such a pars pro toto approach?
