I wholeheartedly agree, and revise my off the cuff look at the picture. The fact is that there is far too many artifacts at stake to condemm all of them for a few good pieces, for a very few to appreciate. Using the good name of a legitimate organization is a vicious thing to do, and hopefully there will be no damage to the AWM's ability to continue to preserve history.
