- Steve,

- Unfortunately because of our e-mail lists, were we to post
- this message to each list, some people would receive it 30 times and
- complain loudly. I don't think that it would fly on a monthly basis.
- I'll think about setting something up on a rotating basis possibly.
- Currently the FAQs are only going to be posted to bionet.announce on
- the first of each month. I am going to modify the info sheet which is
- sent out in response to all subscription requests to indicate how to
- retrieve the FAQs. The best thing would be if all BIOSCI users
- subscribed to BIONEWS/bionet.announce, but we don't force this on
- people.
-
- Happy Holidays!
