Actually, he IS posting elsewhere - he's also selling his wares on
rec.antiques and misc.entrepreneurs, at least, and his postings are being
routed through anonymous remailers so they can't be traced. In other words,
this is someone who knows EXACTLY what they are doing, and who clearly
realizes it is unethical. No one uses anonymous remailers and dummy web
site addresses *by accident*. Here we appear to have a genuine example of
precisely that type of "bad apple" who breaks laws and ruins things for
everyone else, and I would hope that NO ONE on this list condones this sort
of activity. Does it HAVE to be rhino horn and tiger skins before anyone
gets outraged??
