[APWG] Percentage cover of each species to find constants

[Wayne Tyson]

Craig, your responses often contain something that piques my interest, but 
they also are general and vague that I can't get a grip on them. Could you 
be a bit more specific?

PS: Earlier, I asked that you preserve the thread rather than clipping the 
relevant posts from your replies. You said you would, but you continue to 
clip said posts. Is there some reason that you do not want such messages to 
remain attached to your responses to facilitate our connecting your 
responses to the queries?
