If my memory is correct, the only reason why we did not go ahead with this is because the original founder of the newsgroup is no longer active here and we couldn't change the settings. If you are able to do this, I think everyone would be very grateful. (but knowing the strong-minded bunch we are, there will be different opinions in followups now) Pedro Gary Williams wrote: > The Biology and Modelling of Metabolic Regulation and Systems Biology > are important facets of the post-genomic era and this newsgroup should > be a useful forum for the exchange of information and ideas. > > Could I propose myself as the moderator of this newsgroup? -- Pedro Mendes Assistant Research Professor Virginia Bioinformatics Institute, Virginia Tech, 1880 Pratt Drive Blacksburg, VA 24061, USA http://www.vbi.vt.edu/~mendes .
