NO! This newsgroup typically blows up for about a week or two about
some quasi-scientific issue and then goes back to sleep for a couple
of months. The sudden bursts of mail usually cause a few people to
sign off each time, so no one need flog themselves for misdeeds. I
would like to echo Peter Karp's suggestion that people discuss their
research (or possibly controversies about published research if you
don't want to spill any beans).
