I would like to gauge what interest there would be in starting a mailing list for the discussion of so-called paranormal phenomena from a skeptical point of view. Maybe misc.psi or talk.religion.newage is the place, but would scientists normally read it? Too much pseudo-science is advertised as the truth, and too much talk about "paranormal" phenomena goes unchallenged. Please email me with comments.
