        I agree with with sentiment.  I wonder if it would be appropriate, now
or in the not-too-distant future, to start thinking about reorganizing the
bionet hierarchy into one that is more intuitively obvious w.r.t. its
organization (or is that too much trouble to be worth the effort)?  Here is
the present hierarchy of existing/approved newsgroups:

bionet.agroforestry
bionet.announce
bionet.biology.*  (.computational, .tropical)
bionet.genome.*
bionet.general
bionet.info-theory
bionet.jobs
bionet.journals.contents
bionet.molbio.*
bionet.neuroscience
bionet.plants
bionet.population-bio
bionet.sci-resources
bionet.software
bionet.users.addresses
