[Coral-List] My name on the list

[Eugene Shinn]

Why am I mentioned on the list? For example:  "2. Re: Proposed Killing 
of Goliath Grouper (Eugene Shinn) (Ault Jerald Stephen) (Sarah 
Frias-Torres) (Douglas Fenner)"

Weeks ago I asked why the Big Grouper was being considered for taking. I 
wondered if there was some ecological reason for proposing they can be 
taken. I sure got a lot of nasty mail just for asking the question. 
Never got an answer so I assume it was all emotional and not based on 
any scientific or environmental data. That's ok with me. I was just 
under the impression that coral reef researchers used the list to make 
scientific observations. Gene
