As one of the older persons in Polychaetology, believe me, having the Annelida
list working has been a great advantage. It may appear that it is most
valuable for young people, or for scientists in isolated positions, but
believe me, the advantage for me has been enormous. The value for me lies
partially in the fact that previously many persons would write me, with all
sorts of polychaete questions, some of which I can handle, and others I cannot
handle at all or at least not readily. The list brings the questioners in
direct contact with the real experts on any issue so I do not need to
interprete opionion, do research on topics I am only marginally familiar with
and so forth. Just reading the interchanges makes it much easier for me to
follow what is going on in polychaetes at any given time. Geoff Read has been
our inflappable host for these years: Thank you very much and may you
continue for another nine years!
