Please don't.

Unnecessarily!  Politics rather than good sense is what caused the 
problem, if I read it right.

I used to read sci.med.aids - it was so pseudo-scientific, so often, 
that I have given up in disgust.  I am a microbiologist.  I REALLY 
don't need to get swamped in what is really one of the ONLY 
newsgroups on the net that applies to ME, personally and 
professionally, in half-baked and often hysterical posts that have 
little to do with the subject at hand.  Forget sci.bio.micro, or at 
least, don't cross-post if it does come to life.
