Biology Lines: 18 To: roy@phri.UUCP Roy, The BIONET newsgroups are part of a grant supported effort to keep biologists around the world in close contact. These newsgroups are linked to the BIOSCI mailing lists at EMBL/EARN. When a new mailing list is created, the corresponding newsgroup is created. There is, in fact, a discussion in progress on the BIONET/BIOSCI management list on the topic of the name space. As far as ageing vs aging is concerned, you should find both in your dictionary. The reason the group was named ``ageing'' is because most Europeans speak English english where ``ageing'' is apparently the preferred spelling. Eliot -- Eliot Lear [lear@net.bio.net]
