Hi Derek

Great logo! When do we get the lights on the trees?

The ABRF discussion group covers all biochem subjects, so you are not on
the 'wrong' list. We have considered setting up different groups but have
decided not to as the admin burden is to high for those involved. With
mailers getting more sophisticated, the use of filters may help you select
out subjects of interest. We do have a series of prefixes which
contributors can (should) add to the subject line (see
http://abrf.org/ABRF/ListServe.html) and this can help. It's also useful
to be exposed to subjects in related fields. As we respond to questions as
they arise, there's no predicting which subject will be popular at any
given time. Hang on in there - you may get a whole week of DNA sequencing
soon ! Don't forget to visit the archives for earlier chat
