I don't understand why such mailing lists exist.  I don't use them much because
they clutter my mail box.  The net news programs (rn under unix) work very
nicely.  Why would anybody want to use an alternative mechanism?

And besides, if you want to start a discussion on one of those topics, what's
wrong with doing it in a general bionet group?  You'd reach a lot more people
that way.  And maybe the rest of us would learn about the interesting things
you folks are up to.
