Hi All --- I dont get this silly controversy about compuserve vs. the Internet vs. BBS's! I am always inclined to let the cards fall as they may on these issues. Either people will pay for the services and hopefully get a lot out of them or the service will die a hopefully fast and painless death and we can all get on with our lives. As it stands now, there are at least three listservers dedicated to natural history issues (I will dig up the references if people are interested). There are numerous gophers, newsgroups and Web servers that also cater to naturalist audiences. So, the Internet is already stocked with services that people might find useful.
