North American Fruit Explorers mailing list at ibiblio

Yes, it's "of topic" (as opposed to "off topic"), as
much as fruit exploring is about examining variations
in individuals grown from seed.  And I was due for a
refresher course in genetics.  

As I've read these strings, I've been wondering what
other listservs might host more of these topics.  Does
anyone know of other lists?  Can you post addresses,
websites?  Thanks
