- Dave,
-
- I was thinking about a way to get to new users who stumble across a
- newsgroup, not realizing there are a bunch of them, and post anything
- related to biology to the one they found. These guys have no idea about
- bionet.announce, through no fault of their own. I hate getting duplicates
- as much as anybody, but they're not so bad if they're short, and even
- better if the subject is clearly marked so it isn't necessary to read it at
- all. If there are thirty newsgroups, perhaps you could post info on where
- to get the FAQ sheet to a different newsgroup each day, so people don't get
- 30 of them at once.

- /Happy Holidays!

- Thanks, and the same to you (and everyone else)!
