Thanks Paul. You do tend to select interesting news articles.

I am somewhat conflicted on this because I can understand some decent points on both sides. From stories of ancient fossil hunters, I realize the huge range and quality of fossils that no longer can be found because they have already been found. I also see those who continually violate my sense of common decency as they pursue fossils in illegal ways.

Having been thrilled and blessed by this fantastic hobby, I would like to save the experiences for generation after generation.  There does not seem to be an acceptable compromise solution.
