Please note that BIONEWS or bionet.general is for announcements that
are of interest to the entire BIOSCI community, not for specialized
chemistry discussions.  From past experience fielding complaints, I
know that people WILL get worked up if this goes onto bionet.general.
If these discussions are of widespread interest to biologists, they
would be better directed to RESEARCH-NEWS (bionet.molbio.news) in the
general case or better yet to one of the more technical groups.  The
suggestion of forming a sci.chem group is probably the best one given
the level of interest.
