Leroy -
I vowed not to get involved again in this type of discussion but here
goes:
Please name ONE of our members (quite a few of whom are Lepidopterists)
who has called Lepidopterists "greedy collectors".  It is possible there
may be PETA types in NABA.  I never have met any.  Apparently there are
also folks who don't seem quite rational in LepSoc and ATL (I am proud
to belong to all three associations).

It has happened 14 times since I joined this list. My virus software always interceps it. I will find this person sooner or later. If I can find W. Bryce Richfield, I can find this person as well.

Are you getting cabin fever down there??  We have all on this list -
NABA and non-NABA received viruses.  For a while I was getting two or
three a week.  Perhaps from a collector ;-)  Please lighten up,
everyone.

Cheers!
