Yes, this is a problem - but it doesn't stem from the charter but
from bionet funding. I don't think it's too big a problem though,
since if there were too many 'commercial' posts there might less
research-oriented ones, which is what the list was set up to cater
for. I think that bionet.diagnostics and biz-biotech complement each
other well in this respect.

29 in the archives when I looked today. If anyone wants to check
their messages, the archives for all bionet groups are at
http://www.bio.net/archives.html
Remember too that usenet messages can take a few days to make their way into
everyone's newsfeed.
