How about leaving net.bio alone.  It may not be a heavily trafficked
group, but it has an advocacy on our machine and in our region
(NC Triangle area -- Duke, Chapel Hill, Raleigh) where there are a
number of hospitals, medical centers, biology depts, etc.  Possibilities
for serious discussion are abundant, not to mention the fact that
it provides a separate forum for the creationist debate.  I'm not
a biologist, but I hope something can come of this group, and carping
about its volume can only discourage its use.
