North American Fruit Explorers mailing list at ibiblio

["NAFEX List" <nafexlist@hotmail.com>]

Bruce:

One does not have to be a member of NAFEX to belong to this list.  It was 
discussed in the past, but deferred at this time.  There are fervent 
supporters on both sides of that issue.  It was one of the first topics of 
discussion and seems to pop-up every few years as a topic of discussion.

NAFEX does not pay anything toward the costs of administration, since th 
list is hosted for free on IBIBLIO.  I receive no compensation (now or at 
any point in the past) in the form of either cash or benefits.

Happy to help,

GREG MILLER
