They are skeptical about particular things. Having a groupo about skepticism seems to me to be a waste of time. As far as the other groups go. It is my experience that posters as opposed to readers tend to be true beleivers who get both mad and even when hostile followups occur. It would seem to me that sci.skeptic would be a very low traffic group. -- Craig Werner (future MD/PhD, 4.5 years down, 2.5 to go) werner@aecom.YU.EDU -- Albert Einstein College of Medicine (1935-14E Eastchester Rd., Bronx NY 10461, 212-931-2517) "Comedy, like Medicine, was never meant to be practiced by the general public."
