[Coral-List] Coral-List guidelines, Coral Reef Curmudgeons list

[Roger Griffis]

Hello Jim and Coral-List support team -

Your note reminded me once again of how much I value this coral list - 
and how easy it is to take it for granted.

Thank you and your team for maintaining and nuturing this list and the 
community it supports.

Thanks too for the many contributors that make it a professional, 
informative and often stimulating resource.
