I had one of our technical people start this group 18 months ago and 
contacted other Aussi Unis to get them to use this as a forum for 
exchange of ideas and news (eg visits of overseas visitors). I posted 
info re Dept. of Food Science & Tech but had no response from others.
Frank, I'm with you. This newsgroup should be a quick and convenient way 
of exchanging ideas for food scientists in this widespread land. As I am 
a food microbiologist, I cannot speak with authority on your topics but 
could discuss areas such as
   1. food hygiene regs and haccp
   2. acceptance of rapid methods in food micro
   3. Camylobacter in poultry
Perhaps we need to make a concerted effort thru AIFST and CAFTA to get 
this moving. It appears few food scientist know of it.
Any suggestions would be welcomed
