I disagree. One of the purposes of bionet.immunology is to be a forum for
immunology-related discussion. Although a few people have tried it do that,
it has been a weak point of the group. Those who want to use this group
only to request reagents and get technical help can skip the journal club
articles. Maybe the titles should include "JC," or "Article," e.g.
Subject: JC: Cloning and characterization of IL-75
Subject: Article: Decreased T cell memory in neurodegenerative diseases
Anyway, you get the point. Bionet.immunology readers shouldn't be offended
by an intellectual discussion.
