I have 9 articles in the net/bio directory. SEVEN are to both net.bio and
net.MISC. one is to net.bio and net.WORKS. Finally, one is to net.bio itself.
I see very little justification for this newsgroup at this time. I would
suggest that people who have a real reason for this group should post
directly to it. If the creationist/evolutionist debate really belongs here
(note: I said IF) then why is everybody also posting to net.misc?

It is hard enough to create a newsgroup these days, without keeping around
fossils. Maybe we should nuke this group and replace it with something like
net.sci.life. Seriously, if I don't see many reasonable articles in this
group, I will eventually make the suggestion to remove it in net.news.group.
I am NOT threatening to remove it. Rather than sending replies/flames to me,
please post an intersting article to this group. I want to see the group used.
