Hello!
Hi Mr. Fisher and all,

Why do you write in upper case font? This has a connotation of
shouting in an e-mail.

As for bad attitudes; there are none on this list, we are "shellers"
each member has his individual "writing" personality and sense of humour.

You may be new to the list. This is supposed to be a list for communicating
conchology related subjects, issues, news etc. It is very frustrating, to many
members, to receive a pile of messages containing to "psychiatric ward soothing
babble"
instead of conchological related content. A point though, some babble may
be OK during periods of list stasis such as during holidays or when
the COA is in full swing. (Keeps us from getting flooded with test messages
or "where is everyone" messages)

As for the "non-English" writers/speakers not understanding or
interpreting English correctly; this is a non-problem as
there are a large number of  us "furriners" on the list without
apparent problems of understanding.

FYATHYRIO,

Later,

Emilio Jorge Power
