I'm not exactly sure what net.protocol calls for on this count, but
between the ones you posted to here and in the previous article, you
probably have covered the necessary bases.

Clearly excessive. If one rummages throug sci.misc and sci.physics,
which have been the most active chemistry "groups" that I've read,
a modest number of chemistry postings emerge, but not nearly enough
to justify subgroups. Settle for sci.chem; I'd vote for that one.

Sure; do it.
