Hi again, In talking about the physical area that is the focus of our discussion, I think the key is to keep it loosely defined and self enforcing. After all, we aren't going to exclude anyone from the conversation because they live in a diferent watershed, or because they describe "bioregion" in diferent terms. I think "Fingerlakes" is vague enough yet meaningful enough. People came to the Open Space conference from Albany, when the invitation talked about Tompkins County, and they contributed without detracting in any way. Todd
