This might actually keep these folks away from *this* list and let them
go play in the newsgroup, not in the bee-list. And Usenet groups seem
to roll with the punches a bit better.
I don't see a reason why both entities might not co-exist. I, personally,
would stay on this list, as well. This is not just because I like the
scientific aspects as well, but because I don't always have time for Usenet
News. I think a Usenet group might be best used as a supplement to the
list, and a place for the casual layman to drop by.
