Dear Ms. (I assume) Easby-

Apparently you don't read your own postings, along with others you seem to ignore. My quote concerning Mr. Leader (for whom I have nothing but gratitude and respect) came from your posting. I never suggested that he did anything wrong by the standards of folklore collecting some 30 or 40 years ago.

I further quote ; "He issued contracts which were common at the time but which would be unacceptable today because of changed circumstances and massively diminished trust." I agree.

If Bulmer had tried to stop release of "Game Set Match", I would agree that it would have been a reprehensible action. Which, again, has nothing to do with "morality of collecting".

Lastly, if the major force of argument you can bring to bear on this subject is a feeble pun on my surname, I suggest that you might seek out some medical help.
