Conchology Where the issue grows interesting is that after I took it down and informed him that I had done so he began to query via email and telephone various very high strata of the administration at the university where I work, thinking mistakenly that my personal blog might somehow come under the university's purview. The conchologist went so far as to email the president of the university: not the vice president or any deans, mind, but the president. I wish to point out that the conchologist, despite one or two lapses into sarcasm and a serious need to call anyone who resembled my superiors was nothing like as strange and touchy as the Carter appears to be in his letter. gabrielgudding.blogspot.com /2003/09/while-rest-of-po-blog-community-was.html   (566 words)

Conchology The conchologist is actively involved in the hobby and science of conchology as a collector of shells, an author, a lecturer and participant in educational programs and the creation of websites about conchology, and that, in his opinion my blog is appalling. I am well aware of the meaning of the word "conchology," and though I understand your frustration as a conchologist to my use of the word as a title for a website about poetry and poetics, I disagree with you about your insistence that this constitutes a kind of spamming. Though I am sorry you find my use of "conchology" irregular, discordant, and offensive to you as a professional conchologist, I will not be changing the title of the website. gabrielgudding.blogspot.com /2003/09/conchologist-was-concerned-about.html   (594 words)

Binney had already begun work on his plates with an artist in Boston, but upon seeing Helen's illustrations for Haldeman, he "cancelled all the drawings that had already been made for his own, and wrote at once to procure her assistance in preparing others". www.acnatsci.org /~spamer/lawson912.xml   (1098 words)
