Hi, wateryworld!
I think I see what you mean…… . True enough, there are lots of people with very good knowledge about molluscs, but rather few of them join in forums of the internet (some of these knowledgeable people you can meet in this forum  ). Most of these specialists work at Universities or at home, do their research, write papers and books, communicate with collegues, but they will never investigate their time in taking part in forum discussions. So we should be glad to have some very helpful people around here  .
I’m an absolute beginner, starting in 1996 and in the last years with a focus on tropical landsnails. Up to now, I don’t know any forum specialized on this topic, so I buy some books, order or download lots of papers from 1758 up to now, but it's more or less a “one man showâ€
