Not so!!  If someone wants to volunteer to moderate this newsgroup we
can do the conversion fairly quickly.  Ideally the current discussion
leader, Robert Coelen (robert at arbo.microbiol.uwa.oz.au) should step
forward to do this, but we haven't heard from him in some time.  I'm
happy to take other volunteers if he doesn't respond.  I'll cc him on
this message.
