Well, it's good to see things settling down to semi-normal!  (by the
way, does anybody notice how some postings seem to get completely and
absolutely ignored around this joint??)  Guess we can get back to really
important things like Strange Test Messages and where the heck are those
migrating flying pigs when you really need them?? (and by the way,
Yohimbe is about as unrelated to Viagra as a Snail is to a Supernova -
it is a rather hazardous stimulant which in large quantities apparently
works effectively as a hallucinogen - it does sometimes have a
side-effect which resembles that of Viagra's main claim to fame, but is
a bit hard on the blood-pressure even in modest doses.)

Now, a mollusc-related question: the claim has been made that Vaught's
compilation of Molluscan Taxonomy is replete with errors.  Has anyone
actually made up an "errata and corrections" for portions of this work?
If so, speak up!!

Speaking of corrections & errata, were most or some of the problems with
the first two printings of the Compendium of Shells corrected in the
most recent incarnation of this fine book?

Getting my tomatoes in this weekend (There's only two things that money
can't buy, and that's True Love and Home Grown Tomatoes.),
Ross.
