Hello folks,

Please disregard the above message.  Mr. Morris is the "Tim Ingram" of
another list regarding shark conservation on which he and I have had an 
unpleasant dialogue.  He has managed to find the two lists that I maintain 
and has just subcribed to them both only to post the above ridiculous 
message.

My apologies that you folks got dragged into this. 8-}

Cheers,

Jackie (kayak shark fishing competition indeed... hoo boy &-)
