   All right!  Some activity in bionet.agroforestry at last!  We're receiving
you at crom2, a public access Unix site in Athens, Georgia, USA.  crom2 is de-
voted to computing in all areas of biology.  Most of what we have pertains to
molecular biology but we're very much interested in intact organisms also and
in ecology/ethology/behavior (this in spite of the hard words S. Luria has said
about, sniff, "nature study.")  Athens is where the University of Georgia is
located; U.Ga. has quite a large school of forest management since timber plan-
tations are a major industry in this state.
   I for one am interested in anything you want to say about your project and
will keep any information you care to send me online here and post notices in
the forestry school that they're available to be read over here.  It may be
that someone in the department is doing similar work and would like to swap
experiences.

P.S.  You have your caps lock key on.  May I suggest without offending that
since the range of expressiveness is so limited in email most people reserve
all-caps messages for WHEN THEY WANT TO SHOUT ABOUT SOMETHING.
