> Neil Jones- Neil at nwjones.demon.co.uk In the face of Bob Flanders' and Bob Pyle's protests, I withdraw my 
light-hearted suggestion that we all join Hans Schnauber's 
"international" bug club. (I hoped we could outnumber him.)
I'd advise his panel of experts to get their names off his list, too. 
Surely they wouldn't want people to think that his bizarre version of 
"science" was their idea.  
Thanks, Neil, for keeping us up to date on Hans' exploits.
