"experts" in various molluscan families and genera (or molluscs from specific
regions) are not that difficult to find, but many are quite busy and do have
much time for enquiries from non-colleagues.  HOWEVER, there are some who are
"ready, willing and able" to answer questions, usually of the identification
sort, from the shell-loving population at large.  I was just trying to think who
i should ask to help ID a puzzling PI Muricid, when the idea of a list of
"willing conchological experts" popped into my little brain - this would be a
Truly Useful resource!!  Does anyone else agree??  Would anyone like to
volunteer themselves as being willing to help folks with various taxa or
regions?  I'd be glad to put up a geocities page to accomodate the list, if
enough responses are recieved.
