	While it is true that the Zebras have covered some wrecks
entirely, many
	others remain unscathed. Speaking only for Lake Ontario, we have
had a
	tremendous increase in visibility in the last six or seven
years. Diving
	has a great potential as a tourist industry as is practiced in
Tobermory,
	Canada. This will not come to pass if shipwrecks are looted as
in the past.
	You saltwater folks have some valid arguements for artifact
collecting and
	I do not wish to start a war here, but hopefully, in the Great
Lakes at
	least, any remaining "goodies" can be left in place for all to
enjoy....

	Someone questioned on this list where would we see plates and
silverware
	left in place.
	Answer: Many places in the St. Lawrence River........

	Merry Christmas to all out there......
