messages appearing here. Once again, let me remind you that this is a=20
group which should be used for discussion about microbiology, not for any=

personal or junk ads. I am sure that the majority of the members of this=20
group agree with me. You will force many of us to unsubscribe, which=20
simply should not occur.
