Sadly, although I was one of its early supporters, I must agree that net.bio
should be zapped. My major fear about the group has been comming to the the
fore: it is becoming a place for the creationists to urinate into. There are
simply not enough biological scientists on the net (as yet) to sustain the
group. Net.sci(ence) will be a reasonable forum for discussions on the
biological sciences until such time as traffic warrants the creation of
net.sci.bio.
	I also would suggest the creation of net.creation as a place
for the creation/evolution debate to be conducted. Not that the creationists
will be able to contain themselves in a group that we can unsubscribe to.
