I went back to my source (I have not seen the actual newspaper article, although I will today) who made the statement to me. He read Mr. Glassberg comments to me and no where in the artcle did he state: "claiming the demise of Cyclargus thomasi bethunebakeri was partially the fault of collectors" My source was incorrect.

I would like to apologize for mis-quoting Mr. Glassberg. When it comes to this debate, I let my emotions over rule my desire to get it right.  When I am wrong, I am wrong.
