Nice C.V. Tom....
Not be pick nits or anything, but this discussion seems to be going over
board. Perhaps it is time to drop the dueling keyboards for a moment, and
spend some time in the thought process. I would dearly love to see a sort
of debate go on on this subject (genome sequencing), but would like to suggest
a more refined type of discussion. Perhaps we could have an address by
the proponents of the genome sequence initiative, formulated collectively
by a group via e-mail. We could then also have an address by a group
that is against the genome initiative, again collectively written by
a group. This might reduce the flaming, and bring us all to a more in-depth
understanding of the issues from both sides. We could then discuss the
issues that are disparate and not have to be reduced to singular views
or flaming wars.
I suspect that a large number of the people reading these messages are like
me.... in that I see many advantages to genome sequencing, but also quite
a few shortcomings/disadvantes as well.
So... who wants to be the head of the Pro Genome sequencing group (Tom??)
How about the Anti Genome sequencing group? (Did I hear a woof.. or was
it a non-woof?)
Well....
