Path: utzoo!utgpu!watserv1!watmath!uunet!shelby!apple!bionet!kristoff From: kristoff@genbank.bio.net (David Kristofferson) Newsgroups: bionet.population-bio Subject: Re: Please read Message-ID: Date: 2 Oct 90 20:30:33 GMT References: <3262.27087b8c@cc.helsinki.fi> Organization: GenBank Online Service Lines: 17 Dear Dr. Xia, Actually I get a fair number of people who request to sign up for POPULATION-BIOLOGY, but it seems like people are just "listening." There is a moderator for this group (hello?), but you are right that traffic has been low. Seems like we are still in the pre-critical mass stage such as the METHODS newsgroup used to be in. Once people start posting queries and find out that they can get useful information back, others will follow. As usual, though, it takes someone to "break the ice." Thanks for your interest. -- Sincerely, Dave Kristofferson GenBank Manager kristoff@genbank.bio.net
