The rights and wrongs of private collecting and private collections is a whole big question George, too complex to have a neat opinion on I suppose.

But if "we" aren't told where each of those 1000 flints came from, and to a very high degree of accuracy, we've lost some knowledge. That's the only bit that my small brain can cope with, as it seems very clear cut, so working towards fixing just that and to hell with the extraneous noise, seems a fair enough thing to do. Come shouting, come tangents, the hobby DOES damage our communal knowledge - nay, remove it, annexe it, destroy it, steal it and nick it.

Too much chatter chatter, not enough simply doing right by society...
