Dear John Himmelman,
I received your flyer. I think your position is partial from the =
beginning, you do not let an open door. Why collecting or why not =
collecting ? You just ask why NOT collecting. You have of course the =
right of having the position you want but I think the extreme position =
do not reach nothing. There is no one answer but a lot of answers. Some =
species must be collected for study, some places must be collect, not so =
easy to answer.
THE ANSWER DEPENDS WHERE AND ON WHICH GROUP YOU ARE WORKING.
Probably, as in many grounds, people who are certain of their position =
are probably on a wrong position. Let a small space for doubt.
Sincerely,
Jean-Michel MAES

Why don't you collect? Moral reasons? Conservation reasons? Should =
