Maples <[log in to unmask]> Reply-To: [log in to unmask] Organization: Yale University Map Collection To: Maps, Air Photo & Geospatial Systems Forum <[log in to unmask]> A related short series of postings on the "Map Trade" mailing lists inquiring about the integrity of this scframers character have variously described him as "honorable" and "recommend[ed]." Interestingly, one of these positive references came from one of the people posting suspicions to /this /list. Not sure what to make of that!? Just thought I would inject the contrast between the two cartographic "vistas." Has anyone directly contacted said cybertrader to invite him/her to reveal their identity and clear this matter up? Also, does anyone have a photo of this character? Stacey Angie Cope wrote: > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: Re: Gilbert Bland/Map Thief Again?
