As someone who works in a completely different discipline, I used to enjoy
reading bionet.virology as a way of occasionally learning interesting things
about virology. Unfortunately, the group has become nearly unreadable in the
past couple of months, because of two kinds of people:
(a) those who apparently have no idea what a library is, and whose reaction
to any idle curiosity they experience is to post a message on the net, to
be read by thousands of people; and
(b) complete nutcases, with either a plan for exterminating some portion of
the human race, or the need to convince us all that such a plan is being
executed.
Doesn't it seem likely that it's time for someone to moderate the group? Say,
a virologist?
