I have added Paul Barford's blog page to my "Blogs of Shame" list - not because he is someone to avoid but because by drawing attention to his notoriety you might actually visit and read his page. He is his own worst enemy and as such it is best for people to see for themselves. As has been noted, time and time again, collectors of ancient coins have a responsibility to help stop the looting of archaeological sites - we admit it and we stand by it - but unfortunately Paul cannot understand this and keeps on harping that collectors are the sole reason for the destruction of archeological sites. He overlooks the role that archaeologists themselves play in the destruction of the same sites. One day I would like to meet Paul. I think that we are a lot alike!!
