conchologists: Paul, Harry, Henk, Donald, Rich ---- the whole bunch. It is
refreshing to hear so many ideas from so great a line up of teachers.  I
have also used the archives many times to look up a particular subject or
species.
Furthermore, I use the list of dealers from time to time because it provides
a direct link to them.

   I enjoy Avril's "Man and Molluscs" site ; COA could provide a similar or
more "professional" version.
   An electronic version of the AC index.
  An electronic version of the COA roster, or at the minimum, a roster of
CONCH-Lers. When replying to a message that is posted on the CONCH-L, one
cannot find the email address of the sender (even by going to "Properties").
