[Taxacom] ubiquist??

[Robin Leech]

Hi Etienne, 
The non-taxonomic threads actually have worked to communicate to
non-taxonomists that we are not just dried up scientists, but mentally alive
and alert, and with a very strong sense of humor.  One of those to whom I
sent our threads is a retired English professor, and she got a real kick out
of what she read, and even tried to add in a few points.

I wonder how many other people in the list would like to receive less, more
relevant messages from Taxacom.

genus), a few new gymnochiline trogossitids, some new carabids, and possibly
some new zopherids (?), hydrophilids, proteinine staphylinids (hopefully),
etc...
