Re: [GSAS-Member] spontaneous snail generation

Matt-
   I know the kind of snails you are talking about; very small, flat, and almost
transparent. Funny thing is, I've found them hard to keep alive!  They pop up 
for a
while and then they disappear. You must have hit on just the right conditions. 
Maybe
you should just ignore them. They don't hurt anything.
