Sensible  and Wise Lynn just pointed out that chewing the list out for
lack of interest in something is unproductive and innappropriate - so i
will take it back along with all the other times i have grumped and
whined!! (Must remember axiom "engage mind BEFORE putting mouth in gear!!")

OK  - that said, what do YOU think are some of the most fascinating
under-appreciated marine environments on this 70% ocean (at least for a
couple of billion more years!) planet? Deep-water carbon seeps?
Sponge-reef communities in the High Arctic? Am i barking up the wrong trees??

Still snowed-under in the GWN,
Ross.

P.S. : Linux, anyone??
