I should also prefer for this contentious subject to remain on-line. It is
important that we face up to unpleasant uses of science and statistics, in
order to sharpen arguments against them. Also we look for possible topics
for future newsletter articles, and 'eugenics' (and whatever it is now
called) is particularly relevant because of recent advances in identifying
genes associated with illness, applications to health insurance etc.

I'm inclined to agree.
We must all get more adept with our 'delete' key - there's no need to take
it off-list IMHO

I am struggling to understand why this discussion (that I haven't been
paying any attention) has to go off list? I haven't read most of the emails
and I am not really following the issue, but I happy to delete the emails
and let the discussion follow its natural course. Not really sure that
'censoring' the discussion really helps. It also makes me read the
discussion, which I wasn't doing in the first place.

Dear List,
Any chance of taking this off-topic discussion elsewhere?
