The problem with BBoard items that probably hits most people who object
(myself included) is the way they're structured - you have to read most of
a screenload to get past all of the formatting and layout junk.  How about
a more compact format, one which puts the title and abstract in the Subject
line and at the very top of the article (with "Seminar:" in the subject)?
Then put the scheduling info further down.

This group, above all others save perhaps cog-eng, should be able to figure
out how to present information to humans in a quickly digestible form.
