Colleagues, I would make a few comments.  I enjoy all types of
discussions on the BEE-L, but I do use the delete button as I wish.  I
have seen little of the "scientific" communications related to other bees
and wasps when compared to honeybees.  My assumption is that the
"scientists" are simply not choosing to post to BEE-L.  Wish they would.
I'd read what I chose to read then delete the rest.
 
I really have no interest in subscribing to a list that is "moderated" if
it is anything like the refereeing of the scientific journals.  There
ought to be room for all of us, and in the words of that famous American
from Los Angeles, Rodney King, "Can't we all just get along?"
 
So, my "scientist"-type colleagues, please don't leave BEE-L silently or
openly.  Post your comments and "papers" which I will read with
delight...especially in the area of insect behavior and general biology
of insects or mites.
 
If you post an article with an attachment that is a graphic of some
electrophoretic separation of an enzyme...well, I'll probably hit the
delete button.  I've seen enough of those separations over the years, at
seminars I've attended, to last me my few remaining years! ;)
 
Y'all hang in there!
 
Jim
