Members<BR><BR><BR>&gt; Dear Coral listers and ISRS memebers,<BR>&gt;<BR>&gt; 
Knowing that I may be entering rough waters, with all due respect to Dr.<BR>&gt; 
Done and ISRS members, and not knowing what kind of problems are 
causing<BR>the<BR>&gt; delay in the publication of Coral Reefs and what sort of 
negotiations are<BR>&gt; being worked out with Springer-Verlag, isn't it perhaps 
time to<BR>re-evaluate<BR>&gt; how the society should publish its journal (Coral 
Reefs)?</DIV></BODY></HTML>
