But that's second guessing what will happen, without knowing for sure. Isn't your essential role just to report the situation to the designated decision makers?

I find it a weird situation to be in, i want everything and nothing to do with it, if you will.


Btw, in regards to these two pieces i'm happy to report what's going on, but i feel there's also a much bigger issue here in regards to something else that's a very sore point i haven't even raised yet. It's very difficult to speak about given the point we're at with the two pieces being discussed.

I could maybe elaborate a little more if you e-mailed me.

If you have an ethical or other quandary I'd rather you shared it first with EH or PAS or the local curator. I suspect I'd want to play it by the book and if you didn't it would be awkward if you'd confided in me. In my simple world I'd just tell the authorities, it's what they're there for. You can always try to influence their decision if you wish.
