[Rockhounds] "list where the knowledge of many is shared freely"

[OnyxCollector at aol.com]

PawPawTiger  said Rockhounds is a "list where  the knowledge of many is 
shared freely". A furious debate is raging on the  LARocks discussion group about 
sharing the locations of places to collect rocks  and minerals at, and I'd like 
to see some opinions of the rockhounds on  this list.  Do you think 
rockhounds should share the location of collection  sites, or should people have to 
earn the right to this knowledge by going out  first with someone else?  Is the 
knowledge of a collecting site  "intellectual property", and thus should be 
paid for?  Is it wrong to post  GPS coordinates for others to use?  I'd sure like 
to hear what you have to  say.
