Smoke et al., Well said, Smoke! A major responsibility of being a professional in this, or any, field, is sharing information. Sometimes we do it formally by way of monographs and journal articles, more often we do it informally, by snail mail, email, or over our beverages of choice. None of us will ever be able to publish all the random bits of data we have in our gray cells and filing cabinets. I don't mind giving what I have to anyone who makes the effort to frame an intelligent question, especially to students who haven't yet developed research skills or the serious amateurs/avocationals who don't have easy access to the excellent libraries (University of Arizona & Arizona State Museum) that I have. Its actually part of my job description and that of every other curator at ASM to provide information to students, colleagues, and the general public. These folks (or their parents) are paying our salaries, but even if they weren't, it would still be our obligation. Mike
