>PICKING UP UNALTERED LDG IS ILLEGAL

In this case, you are the person very confused about my 
arguments. I perfectly agree with you that there is 
***nothing** illegal about picking up or collecting
natural, unmodified pieces of LDG. My discussion had
nothing to do with the collection of natural pieces of
LDG. The only mention of this was that collecting of
any kind in the area containing LDG was prohibited 
because of looting of ***artifacts*** in the strewn 
field area. In that case, the people collecting only 
LDG, not artifacts, were victims of the pothunter 
/ arrowhead collector types.

I fully agree that people should be able to collect 
and take home natural and unmodified pieces of LDG.

If you would read the various posts, you would find the
discussion was concerned only ***artifacts** manufactured
from LDG. In fact, many people greatly disputed to what 
degree, if at all, whether it was either illegal, legal
enforceable., unenforceable, moral, immoral, ethical, or
unethical to collect **artifacts** manufactured from 
LDG and export them from Egypt and under what 
circumstances.

Dean you really need to read what you are commenting
on and unlock the caps key before composing a post.
Also, even if I disagreed with you, which I don't, it would 
help your arguments, if you used standard punctuation
and wrote in logical sentences instead of just shouting
what nasty, evil you-know what I am.

Yours,
