Well, after a brief absense, I'm back. Along with that comes the sarcasm and pointless views I'm often wanting to share in overly long forms...
Bob, you sound so knowledgable of the requirements and given your experience, was it an editor for the CAS ?, carry that ball and let us know what our annual membership will be...
Debs' right though. It'd require sponsorship so the issue is already dead given our resourses...
I too will contribute my empties but it will surely pale in comparison to Kari's contribution

Speakers ? I'm goona' bite my tongue on that one...who would ya' rather gain knowledge from, A Dr. so and so with a PhD in Marine Sciences or some yahoo named TANGOMAN and a bunch of fish geeks that just stink your house up... :?
Seriously though, it would be a great step forward! Especially if we got t-shirts...
