" As a representative of all bottle collectors and diggers, be thoughtful, considerate, and courteous at all times."
This is a direct quote from The 5th edition All Color Antique Trader Bottles Identification & Price Guide by Michael Polak on rules and ethics of being a collector and digger.
A little common courtesy goes a long way in life, and I believe that many of us strive to be good people, and do the right thing. I myself am one of those people, and I must say I was appaled to lean via a reliable and good friend, that while they were in "the other" bottle enthusiests web site, two of my very closests digging pals were being slanderized, because why? The following was copied and sent to me via email:

I hope he gets caught digging in the big city dump...they will put him in jail...they almost threw me and my buddy Jay in the slammer when they caught us in there a couple months ago. Let him and jab the hut take the heat on that place!

I should have a full weekday off to dig soon. I'm ready to hit it.

This is not only unethical for fellow bottle collecters and diggers to act in such a manner, but in my opinion very, very infantile. Proper "good" people do not present themselves in such a way, and should be ashamed to even sign their names to such derogatory comments. In addition to this behavior, my digging pals and myself have been banned from the other site, again why? We have never caused any problems and have always been friendly and courteous too every and all fellow diggers and collectors we have met, and now we have been threatened with physical violence if they meet us in a collecting site. These actions put a black mark on all of us diggers and collectors, and in the future I hope to not meet any other persons that act in this manner, as they are a disgrace to the meaning of the title Bottle Collector.
Here's hopeing none of you have to deal with any fiasco like this one, and happy digging !
