Not rude! Last I checked, anyone can ask a question on Conch-L as long as it
pertains to mollusca. Asking in front of everyone is the format of the list!
Where else would I find the answer?
I think the word you were looking for is "uncivilized question". When Mr.
Nisters posted directions of how to get to the website for the museum where he
and his mother are listed, I knew immediately that I was misinformed about Mr.
Nisters credentials. I stand corrected and offer apologies to Mr. Nisters and
his mother.
As for the dealers advertising on Conch-L, I think it was mentioned several
weeks back that Conch-L guidelines set by the university forbid any commercial
selling on the net. With my stats for today, I may be wrong about this, too.
Don't misunderstand, I love shell dealers!!!! But, if the rules say no
advertising, it should be enforced.

How rude!..."does it really exist?" What kind of civilized question is that
to ask about Helmut infront of him and the entire list? :-O
Remember, we are all supposed to be friendly here.
