A few weeks ago I posted an article in sci.misc and news.groups
about starting a new group for
chemistry.  I have only seen one reply to that article.  Is anyone
interested?  Which groups should I post to to find any interested
parties?

There are many groups for sci and bio but none of them are appropriate
for the four areas of chemistry.  I envision four new news.groups for
this subject.  They might be called:

     Chem.org
     Chem.inorg
     Chem.phys
     Chem.analyt

or other appropriate names for organic, inorganic, physical, and
analytical chemistry.  If there is no need for four groups I would be
satisfied with just one group for chemistry.

Is there anyone else who shares my views?
