The Bitnet Psychology Newsletter is a high-quality mailing list and moving
it to Usenet is an excellant idea, as the move would make the information
more accessible to academics.  The psycoloquy would allow scholarly
material on psychology to be available on the net and would be a forum
free of the psychobabble, misinformation and general nonsense which
tends to be perpetrated and perpetuated on other Usenet groups.
Psycoloquy would also allow for cooperative examination and 
collaboration in psychology.  Professor Harnad would be a capable
manager for a high-quality newsgroup.
