Kouta, Concerning American Members, we could always check the websites they would have, especially if they were on Google or worked like Google. I usually check posts from the ENTS Google discussion website and often post from it therefore minimize e-mail. One must choose " Webpage Only " when subscribing to do this. In this way one could easily check on the activities of a " World Ents ".
