Re: sci.bio.paleontology and PALEONET

I'm an amateur, but I still greatly appreciate listening in on the professional 
level discussions on PALEONET, and tend to avoid the endless chitchat on the 
newsgroups, so:

I have access, but will only read it sometimes, but not regularly

>If you can not access Usenet, would you read sci.bio.paleontology
>via a mailing list set up for the purpose?

No

>paleontology newsgroup.  

Having PALEONET mailings forwarded automatically to sci.bio.paleontology would 
seed it with good quality entries, so may be a good idea.

What I don't want to see is postings coming the other way.

>a *new, separate* mailing list to be gated to sci.bio.paleontology?

No
