It's likely no fault of the Frog Pond that the Caboma got dumped there, and I suggest the immediate organization of whatever control actions are appropriate to suppress this colonization. Invasive species groups and agencies whoop "rapid detection/rapid response" as their goal - but this rarely happens except in the case of pests of agriculture or forest trees. fred. ------------------------------------------------------------ Frederick W.

If something is to be dismissed as inadequate, it is surely not Darwin [, whose] works manifest the activity of a mind seeking for wisdom, a value which conventional philosophy has largely abandoned."
