I'm OK with a >beekeepers chat list, but lets not kid ourselves. A newish subscriber myself I must reluctantly ('cos I'm a charitable sort) echo Phil's comments about a growing trend. I'd naively supposed that one 'chatted' in <sci.agriculture.beekeeping> and 'discussed' in BEE-L. Not so it seems, even though many of the participants are the same and some threads cross posted.
