Just a note from a museum person who stumbled upon your discussion from
March '01...too bad you have this antagonistic attitude - you could
probably share resources with a local museum and do a lot of good. They
would love the information you could provide (and maybe do some public
good with?), and they might have resources (including potential access
to grant money, etc.) that you would also enjoy. It doesn't seem like
them offering someone a tax incentive should be such a problem in that
case...
Best wishes,
Tim
