Hi Steve,
the statement in the subject line of your posting are strong words, in fact,
I've never seen anything like it here since I've been a member of this list.
I therefore assume that you know the facts about how that 1.2g Mifflin
fragment ended up in the Tricottet Collection.

On August 14, 2010 you wrote: ' I believe everyone on this list is
honourable and do not want to purchase lost, stolen , or illegal to export
material.'
If this is what you believe, how does 'shame on you' and the attack on the
person behind the Tricottet Collection fit into your way of thinking?

You wrote on Michael Blood's website in your profile: '....I have a lot of
interests and can be belligerant at times. I will be the first ont to tell
you I don't know everything....'

Well, I guess we can all be belligerent sometimes and nobody can claim to
know everything. So if you're only guessing that the fragment came illegally
into the possession of the Tricottet Collection and you - maybe - have
realized by now that your insulting remark was totally out of order, don't
you think the time has come to apologize for your 'belligerent' statement?
If you find the time to go the website www.thetricottetcollection.com you
will discover that the concept and the main theme of the website is about
provenance and authenticity. No more needs to be said about it.

On the other hand, if you know exactly which laws were broken and who the
perpetrator was, why don't you enlighten us?

Cheers
Werner Schroer
