I have been grateful for the people that have suggested that our list-
serve has become too much of a chatroom. With one-line
comments going back and forth. As Franic Collins comes on-line,
I would humbly request that we give our pet subjects a break for a
while, and send him some questions instead.
ASs someone suggested, and I agree:
Let's NOT subject him to tons of e-mail about angels, or
somebody's favorite interpretation of Genesis, or dualism vs.
monism, or the King James translation, or the spiritual condition of
animals, or whether YEC is a "cult", or various other subjects that
have occupied us these past few weeks.
That is not to say that all those topics are out of place on the ASA
list (though I wouldn't mind if some of them never came back after
next week), just that these topics would not be the best use of our
limited time with Dr. Collins.
For, as someone else noted:
I also agree that it would be good for all of us to remind ourselves
that this is an email discussion list not a chat-room, and that "chat-
room" kinds of remarks would best be sent to the individual and not
copied to the listserv.
It would be great to have some quality level discussions on genetic
determinsm and HGP, on the effect of privatization on genetic
research in North America, to name but two.
