Tom and the Ferret;- Absolutely right. It appears that anything we do these days has to have a ranking. Best Shopping Cart Pusher, Top ten people you'd like to meet at the gas station, the All-American class-cutting team. What's good is good. What isn't will disappear. Hecky darn;- you can rank things like : best shelling beach (if you've really been to all of them), best CONE shelling beach, best C. gloriamaris shelling beach, and on it goes. If we do start a grading system; enter me in the "Best conch-L comentator" catagory Art I have seen the truth---and it makes no sense.
