Re: SPECIES: why here? germanica

Perhaps we might want the lists combined?  There seems little difference 
between the photo list and a combined list.  I belong to both and just 
use the delete button when I want to skip the discussion but often 
people forget to change the subject line so I probably miss things but 
sometimes time is a factor that takes precedence.   Just a thought.  I 
will send this to both lists.  I think John is the person to make the 
final decision and I know he will make a fair and well thought out one. 
 He always has in the past.
