Update on the "Shell dealer" who e-mailed me yesterday. Turns out it wasn't his mistake after all - it was mine! A couple of months ago I was surfing around on the net when I found a site called onelist.com, which had hundreds of different listserv-type groups you could join. I did a search for shells, conchology, etc., and I found a list called Philippine Shell Dealers. That sounded pretty interesting, so I signed up. I haven't heard much from them since. In fact, I had forgotten all about it until today, when I received an e-mail from the group, saying "Please unsubscribe if you are not involved in the petroleum industry. We will not be talking about seashells on this list, even though there are many seashells in the Philippines". OOPS! Paul M.
