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. Could it not be so ?
