Who reads this ng and why?

The thread title says it all -- except what
would we like the ng to do for us? Is there
a point to having a women-in-biology newsgroup?
Or is 'women in biology' really not a useful
grouping -- are we more interested in entomologists'
or physiologists' newsgroups? What newsgroups do
we find useful, and why?

I'm assuming this is our ng and we could make it
into something we find useful or amusing. Right now
it seems to be very decorous, sort of like
a polite tea-party to which only five or six people 
have shown up. Five or six people make for a small
party, but they can form a lively conspiracy, strike
force, writer's group, or jug band -- can't we come up
with something fun to do on our very own newsgroup?
