Dear Howard,
 
Thank you very very much for the unsollicitated translation. In spite of flying
pigs and flaming shell collectors, you give proof of the basic need for such a
thing as Conch-L. I also received the information that I need already to make a
shell-succes out of my weekend in Brittany.
 
Thanks again and see you on the net !
 
Jan Haspeslagh

PS : Interested in specimens from that region ? Just let me know, we can always
organise a trade...(exchanging, not financial, I mean !)
