The following message was posted to DataBaseNet but is of interest to the
Paleo. Community at large.
----------
I have assembled hundreds of paleontologists' e-mail addresses which
I would be willing to exchange for any addresses which you may have.
Hopefully, the next "Directory of Paleontologists of the World Directory"
will include this information, along with FAX no.'s, so any help you can
provide me will be passed to the next editor of the directory.

I will not be supplying the list of PaleoNet subscribers to the Smithsonian
Directory as a matter of principle. But I encourage all PaleoNet
subscribers to consider adding their e-mail addresses to the Smithsonian's
Directory.
PaleoNet (and all it's specialty listservers) have also changed the manner
in which replies to postings are handled. Previously the default was to
route these replies to the individual's e-mail address. Software installed
this week on the NHM computer network allows for this default to be changed
and replies to be routed to the list at large. This change in the reply
routing default has been instituted as of today. From here on out if you
use your e-mail program's default reply to a PaleoNet (or DataBaseNet,
CollectionsNet, etc.) posting, that message will be routed to the entire
PaleoNet (or DataBaseNet, CollectionsNet, etc.) list rather than to the
e-mail address of the original author. This change is intended to promote
the exchange of information among PaleoNet subscribers regardless of
whether or not they are actively participating in a PaleoNet conversation.
The appropriate changes have been made to the Welcome texts of all PaleoNet
listservers.
Next week I'll be working on socking the PaleoNet ftp site. Look for
announcements on this topic soon. Also, if anyone would like to place a
program, list, meeting announcement, etc. in the ftp site please contact
me.
Thanks for participating in PaleoNet.
