I agree about the bionet-grouping. It would be much easier
for a biologist to follow biological newsgroups if they
lie close to each other.
About your discussion on not joining bionet-groups and
mailing lists because of administrational problems:
I thought that the mailing list would persist, the only
difference would be an address change and the fact that
Intelligenetics would run the list physically in their computer.
You can also run a mailing list only (with a 6 month test
period - you can still keep the original listserv list
undestroyed for that period and move back if there is
no success with bionet.
Do you really think that the readers of PHOTOSYN would
not learn/start using a new mailing-address for the list
if it is properly advertised before a change?
I am asking all this because I am also running a biological
listserv list with some 200 subsribers and the traffic has just
during the recent few weeks started to run more professional
discussions. My list is also linked to a bit.listserv. newsgroup.
