Message-ID: <1076@husc2.UUCP> Date: Sun, 14-Dec-86 21:02:39 EST Article-I.D.: husc2.1076 Posted: Sun Dec 14 21:02:39 1986 Date-Received: Tue, 16-Dec-86 18:38:46 EST Distribution: net Organization: Harvard Univ. Science Ctr., Cambridge, MA Lines: 19 Summary: sci.bio is supposed to be for the discussion of biological *science*. _ Lately, sci.bio has become cluttered with creationism vs. evolution messages, such that it looks like another talk.origins. I was under the impression that the sci.___ groups were supposed to be for the discussion of scientific and/or technological issues. I was also under the impression that talk.origins was created for the purpose of carrying debate between creationists and scientists. While this involves some scientific discussion, so many of the messages created in this debate are unscientific that it would be inappropiate to post messages of this debate in a sci.___ group. Therefore, please keep such messages out of sci.bio, so that this group does not get distracted from its original purpose. -- -- Lucius Chiaraviglio lucius@tardis.harvard.edu seismo!tardis!lucius Please do not mail replies to me on husc2 (disk quota problems, and mail out of this system is unreliable).
