Bronwen,
Welcome to Conch-L. There are quite a few fans of nerites as well as land snails
on the list so you join good company. Hope you enjoy this place as I have. You
just have to beware not everything is completely serious. We are just settling
down after some high pranks over the holidays and it is now back to shells, shell
books, and what makes the best of the two. Have fun,
