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. -- Mark J.
