Didn't we used to have a happy thread?

[Jonathan]

Hello all, I'm sure we used to have a happy thread on the board but none of the searches seem to find it.

Anwyay, I'm bouncing off the walls as a lifetime ambition of mine has finally come true - as some of you know, I am a shell collector (conchologist) and yesterday, the paper which describes a new species that is named after me, was published!

So, there is now a little species of Terebra from the Caribbean called Hastula welshi Terryn, Aiken and Bonard, 2023

Excellent, well done!

The nearest to a Happy thread is perhaps S_A's "Good News" thread: https://www.for3.org/forums/forum/pl...d-news-stories

Oh, don't worry, I'm all for diversity in singularity!

Not often we hear news as happy as that, Jonathan. Well done (even better than when you played the piano on R3?)! A lad o' pairts.

Excellent news, Congratulations.

( I imagine the news of the official naming broken by somebody having a word in your shell- like ?……..)

A shell collector must be conchie...
