Jenny, Don't be. Those folks that are active on the list are carrying the discussion. Originally the only posts on this list were made by dendromorphometrists. The listbhas expandedin terms of numbers and topics. If the "dendros" don't post (and although I am more interested in the qualitative ecology of forests and trees I still include myself as a "dendro") then we dendros shouldn't mind the ocassional departure from "twigs and seeds". I find it refreshing and interesting until it gets bogged down in tit for tat.
