   And yet most of the autosequencing postings seem to go to
bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts rather than to here.  Maybe the phrase
"genome.chromosomes" does not sufficiently connote automated sequencing. 
I know it took me a while to discover it, and I do automated sequencing
and read the newsgroups regularly.
   Here's an idea.  If we do not want to create a whole new group, how
about changing the name of bionet.genome.chromosomes to include
autosequencing?  Otherwise I expect that many users will continue to post
to bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts because that title sounds more
appropriate. Just a thought.
