    budak will you be going there after lunch? I'm dropping by around 1230 to catch some of the Nature Society folks. Beep me if you're going.

    btw, shouldn't it be earthlings?
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.
