Really?  Actually, I think you are too generous.  Scroll on down and
you can see the solicitation which reads "ANIMALS ARE ATTACKING ALL
OVER THE WORLD! Join our growing list of AAT CORRESPONDENTS?  Write a
first-hand report or send a clipping.  You too can contribute to the
valuable repository of Attack Information."  

Now, anyone with a story can be a journalist!   (not that that is
new, mind you :-)

Hey, wonder if they'll accept http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/chum.html 
and I can join their "growing list of ATT CORRESPONDENTS?"

Cheers,

Jackie
