I have been sitting here patiently waiting for at least one of the many Matrix meeting participants to post something from their presentations at the recent meeting or at least post a question about something that was presented. So far nothing but SILENCE I hate to be overbearing, but I'll start the discussion off myself (sigh) in a few more days by posting a summary of my talk in the Electronic Communications session. I hope that someone will beat me to the punch. If ***this group*** can't get an electronic forum to succeed, then I will probably conclude that biological bulletin boards will probably be restricted to methods questions, job postings, journal contents, meeting announcements, sequence data distribution, and the like. Is it really true that biologists can't discuss science in this kind of electronic forum???? I sure hope not.
