I have a copy of John Heppner's essay with his permission to post. I have been reluctatent to do so. This list sees enough battles over fly do-do. If anyone would like to receive the article via e-mail, I will send it off list as an MS Word attachment.

In June of 2001, I e-mailed Mr. Glassberg and ask him specically what his position was on collecting, the answer was read my articles to the past issues of News of the Lep. Soc. He never said yes or no. This past weekend, he ballasted collectors in articles in the south Florida newslpapers, claiming the demise of the Cyclargus thomasi bethunebakeri (Miami Blue) was partially the fault of collectors and if the species is not list (ESA), collectors will wipe it out! An abreviated version of the artical at: www.miami.com/herald/content/news/local/dade/digdocs/050075.htm

Mr. Glassberg is what he is!
