Re: SVP Ethics statement

[Michael Schmidt <dmschmidt@sprint.ca>]

so let me ask you this then.....

as knightia are very common, as with diplomystus and priscacara, and a few 
other Green River fish...would you allow someone who leased a quarry in 
Wyoming and sold only these common fish to be a member of the SVP?  Or if he 
was one already, continue to be one with his current profession?

would this tolerance be shared by other members of the SVP?

which fossils would be considered common enough to be allowed to sell?

Your attitude  seems to be a little more progressive than other members of 
the SVP I have run into.....
