re suggestion about moderated group (v. infra, below MN's post): I'm
for it.  I had high expectations when I first logged on, but afraid
most of the serious participants have been crowded out or discouraged
from loggging in.  There is a wealth of wasted talent out
there--OCCASIONALLY posting (Gutnikov apleasant surprise, at long
intervals), but far short of wht the neuroscience community has to
offer (I'm a member of Society for Neuroscience).

Some of the "other" posts are amusing, and some queries from the naive
present really thought-provoking personal reports (re unexplained
apparently neurological coonditions), AND I am leery of
censorship...but how about some sort of triage?  e.g. distributing
mesages to "neuroscience" or "anti-neuroscience" or "neurocience
query", as seems appropriate?
