I'd like to echo the enthusiastic responses to the "1000 zooarchers" news. Congratulations on reaching this milestone (or perhaps it's more appropriately a kilometer-stone!). I agree that this very knowledgeable, accessible community seems to be rather unique and I am happy to be a part of it. I also agree with Deb that a community resource like this is invaluable to scholars who don't have easy access to the literature. [On the Ancient World Online (AWOL) blog a few weeks ago, I saw the results of a survey showing that about 50% of AWOL visitors don't have access to JSTOR.] I am proud to be part of a community that has found ways to dramatically increase communication among scholars. A huge thanks to Umberto and Jacqui for their trail-blazing efforts!
