Since we all seem to be acutely interested in CITES, I though I'd 
mention that there is a CITES newsgroup that discusses the topics of 
importing/exporting and so forth.  A lot of debate goes on between people 
who think it's useless and those that don't, but you may find it 
informative.  To subscribe, send the message: SUBSCIBE CITES-L your name 
to "listproc@wcmc.org.uk".
