>Any pros and cons to combining the biology and medical directories?

Con:  There are *many* journals under each of these headings.
Combined, there will be a huge list to scroll through since
eventually this archive will have a Style for each of them.  By
leaving the directories separate it will be easier to find
what you want.  To me it seems more appropriate to keep the
evolution and environmental journals together with the other
biology stuff.

Pro:  Biologists working in medicine (which is a lot of people)
could find most of what they need in one directory.

With the announced plan to put each Style in its own file in the
archive, I think that breaking them into more subdirectories is a
better idea.  From my own perspective as a biochemist/microbiologist/
molecular biologist working on non-medical problems it might
make more sense to combine the biology and chemistry directories -
not that I am suggesting that.  I can search two directories
easily enough.
