Web discovery

To the Editor,

I thought the organizers of the IUCr Congress in Seattle might like to know that after my abstract appeared on the Web, together with my e-mail address, I received several e-mail messages from people who had spotted the abstract. In more than one case, these were from people not attending the congress who otherwise would not have been aware of our results. In one case, this has led to a future collaboration - as a direct result of the abstracts being available on the Web pages. Thanks to all involved.
