I agree, Peter. I'll still keep the monthly zipped postings going, but it
would make the information a lot more useable if it were collated/summarised
by topic. You have volunteered already to do importation/exotics, which I
appreciate.

Anyone else that wants to do a summary, please feel free! Like I said in an
earlier posting, I think that it would be a good idea if intending
summarisers posted a notification to the list to avoid duplication of effort.

What do folks think about the benefits of summaries vs. collations? Myself,
I think that summaries, if done well, are a lot easier to read.

Regards, Andrew
