All new newsgroups have the option of being run as LISTs through the BIOSCI 
listserv option. I guess the LISTSERV "option" of bionet.neuroscience is still 
active.

$$However, for those willing to use the listserv route, there is an

$$Rather than starting a new moderated list, why doesn't everyone

This concept of all of us subscribing to a LIST seems a reasonable idea, but 
what happens if someone unfamiliar with the LIST seeks information? Like the 
students who post regularly about advice on neuroscience majors, graduate 
programs etc. They will not be aware of the LIST.
