  Greetings Warriors!

  An activist has only one function: to effect physical change.
  The above "Newsgroups:" crossposting list may be considered
  an "in-house" message, i.e., nobody but enviros and a few 
  anti-enviros will read it.  Preaching to the choir.

  The one valid argument I've heard against the internet is that
  it tends to concentrate special interests and further isolate
  ideas into cliques.

  If we have a good point that needs to be heard, we need to
  move outside the fraternity, preaching to the choir and the
  anti-nature crowd serves no purpose.  We need to reach the
  fence-sitters.  I like to post to one enviro, one "expert"
  and one or two general purpose, and maybe an anti to liven 
  things up.  The antis do confirm our points so loudly!  And
  the "expert" newsgroup is there to keep down the wild half
  informed claims so often so difficult to refute.

  I think picking a good newsgroup list is as important as the 
  message itself, and it can determine the flavor of the conversation.
  
  Here is my list of newsgroups we might consider crossposting
  messages to.  This seems a good tactic when we deal with solid
  general purpose facts and ideas, not so well with the cutting-edge 
  or the complex.  I hope we will get out more!

  I have limited access to Newsgroups names and am looking for
  more science and biology names, as well as general purpose
  Newsgroups where ecology might be on-topic.  Can anybody help?
  This is all the names I have:
  Thanks!
