re the recent increase in unwanted threads in bionet.general,
I know that there is always tension between the lumpers and splitters
among USENET hierarchies but perhaps bionet.general is too broad a title,
encompassing
-topics of _general_ interest to biologists
-topics that don't fit in any of the existing groups
and - random observations on vaguely biological topics
by analogy with other parts of USENET, maybe a these should be handled by
bionet.general
bionet.misc
and soc.culture.bionet or bionet.chat
respectively.
Just a thought.
