	Also, is it possible to assemble a FAQ detailing posting 
etiquette on b.v.?  The FAQ could include some information and web 
pointers to answer questions that seem to recur every few days... e.g. 
Ebola / AIDS / Hot Zone questions.  I suppose this assumes that people 
will read the FAQ, which does not seem to be the case in other 
newsgroups.  Also included could be descriptions of other biology-related 
newsgroups which may be more appropriate for one's queries.  Is it a pipe 
dream to think this will improve the signal to noise ratio (of which this 
post is a part, unfortunately)?
