Reply to Anna Creech:

Thank you for taking a moment to share your views regarding the message I
posted to SERIALST.  I agree with you completely that cooperation is the key
to a successful relief effort.  I further appreciate your suggestion that
PubZilla needs to be more inclusive in regard to subjects of serials listed.
I want to assure you that I am presently making efforts to expand the site
and to foster working cooperation with all those focused on the relief
effort.  Thank you again very much for your interest and kind suggestions.
