The moderator of the USA based vrtpaleo list has issued a polite request that
ID and creationism not be discussed on that list anymore.

Hi,

I totally agree with Patricio that unfortunately this is a USA problem. You 
can use the VRTPALEO  (vrtpaleo@usc.edu) based THERE to develop such ideas.
Nevertheless, looking at how this issue was solved by most of Europeans a 
century ago may help you.

However, I would like that you accept my sincere support in this matter.

Cheers

Dear Paleoneters,

Paleonet is becoming a list on the social abuse of creacionists. This
subject is concerning mainly to our US colleagues. The
palaeontologists from the old Europe almost forgot this discussions
about one century ago (much much recent however was in the Spanish
history, believe me).

What I am suggesting is that people interested in the social problems
of creacionism (pro- or contra-), should subscribe to a list about
that (or create it).  I understand that certain creacionism threads
could be of interest for the palaeontologists however, Paleonet is
beginig to be SPAM-ed with such creacionism threads.

Palaeontologists asking for new research ideas, methods not weel known
on fossil preparation, difficult to find bibliography, research
doubts, the contact e-mail of a missing colleague, press releases,
notes on meetings or simply asking for help are becoming a clear
minory in Paleonet.

Thanks,

Patricio Dominguez
