I'm confused--arent' you on the CES listserv, Joe? I received postings
from it, and posted to it, starting last week.

I agree with this, except I am not sure about the last phrase--what
sort of disadvantage(s) did you see? Certainly it seems simplest
to start off at least just like the biologists and geologists as
a subset/offshoot of ASA, as I said in my initial post.
Out of curiousity, how many engineers are on the ASA listserv presently?
(I myself am not; I read the posts thru my husband's account and thus
keep my own account clear of stuff I don't want to bother with.) I
wouldn't be surprised if, although most/all engineers have e-mail,
few have bothered to subscribe to the ASA listserv. (I'm assuming just
ASA members, here.) Topics of engineering interest have _not_ been
discussed!
