[Coral-List] Happy Anniversary

[Jim Hendee]

Greetings,

    Happy Anniversary, Coral-List Team!  Coral-List began this day, May
23, in 1995, with about 100 subscribers, through the efforts of Louis
Florit (now an Engineering Manager at Apple, Inc.) .  Today we number
7,502 subscribers from all over the world, and we have done well in
informing the public, debating major issues relating to coral
conservation, helping to fightThe Good Cause, and informing policy
makerson issues of major concern.  Yay, Team!

    The Coral-List Archives from May, 1995 to March, 2003, maybe found here:

    http://coral.aoml.noaa.gov/pipermail/coral-list-old/

    The present archives, starting July, 2003 to the present, may be
found here:

    http://coral.aoml.noaa.gov/pipermail/coral-list/

    The list was down between the old and the new archives when we
migrated from the old Majordomo software to our present Gnu Mailman
software (currently at version 2.1.9), and configured new servers.  We
also manage several other lists (e.g., for the U.S. Coral Reef Task
Force, Reef Resilience, Coral Reef Injury, etc.)

    Not so long, Tony Piccoloworked with NOAA's Coral Reef Information
System (CoRIS <http://coris.noaa.gov/>) to distill many conversations on
Coral-List topical subjects into "Professional Exchanges," which may be
found here:

others whomay be interested, theCoral-List guidelines and subscription
page may be found here:

    We would appreciate it if you peruse that page one more time.
