<HTML>I, too, consider the straight-out robbing of wargraves an act of utmost disrespect. Then again, this whole world is built on the principle of greed. Hadn\'t it been for the greed of this Mr. Jensen, the wreck might not have been disclosed at all. Along with the curse of grave-robbing comes the blessing of an archeological discovery, as with numerous examples in the past, like the Egyptian Kings.
I\'ve never really understood why something that has been buried in soil or water becomes someone\'s property, just because \'he saw it first\'. These rediscovered items should be the property of mankind as a whole, to be preserved and studied. The way laws are now, they actually encourage grave-robbing.
