Re: Re: habitat/ponds

Yup, it was me.  I've only been getting to email once a week the past couple
weeks - gotta do something about that as it takes a long time to read
through 350+ emails, and topics have come and gone by the time I get to
them.  Still, interesting conversations!!

I was curious how much the program had grown - closing in on 40,000!  And
chat community has certainly contributed this past week - way to go!!  I was
habitat 24320 in fall of 97 (I think), so the program is really gaining
momentum.  This is great!
