[Taxacom] Paris Harbarium

[Moretzsohn, Fabio]

I don't know if my experience was unusual, but I created an account and
visited the MNHN invertebrate collection in Nov. 2008 and had no
problems. I received timely messages from the staff and they were very
helpful in assisting me before and during my visit.

Michele,

I tried the colhelper two months ago to try to initiate a loan from the 
MNHN invertebrates collection. The result was equally impressive: 
nothing happened. A simple calculation learns that by this day my 
message must be way beyond the heliopause, some 1555 billion miles from 
earth. It will reach proxima centauri in four years.
Simply going to Paris is a valid alternative: I was quite well received 
at the Museum a few years ago and life in Paris is OK.

Regards,

Jan
