The overlap between the main PaleoNet list and the specialty servers is a
bit frustrating for those of us (like Terry Poulton) who participated in
some of the early meetings and discussions that eventually led up to
PaleoNet's creation.  I think some proactive efforts on the part of the
specialty list managers (including myself) are warranted at this point to
reactivate these parts of the PaleoNet system.  At this point, then, I'm
going to move over to DataBaseNet and make some suggestions for that list.
