Probably I missed it, but I would like to know if there are enough people
interested in the above topics. I didn't see so many postings about
Hep.viruses and Ebola virus to justify a bionet.newsgroup (please note that
we are talking about bionet groups, so also the many Ebola postings we got
recently were mostly outside the pourpose of such groups). There was
already a proposal for a virology.hepatitis group and the feeling was that
it wasn't worth making. Is anything changed? I do not have anything in
principle against such groups, but I simply do not see the necessity to
split the virology group. I think that covering a wide range of matters
could be useful for many people. Just my 2 cents of course.
