I am pleased to see the positive responses for maintaining open
discussion on the mail list. Since its inception in 1995 it has supported a
very high level of debate and, unlike many other lists, has avoid carrying
trivia. This is a tribute to the professionalism of the members since none
of the messages are moderated.
I thought members might be interested in a few statistics:
Members: 725
First mail: 20/03/95 18:43:21
Last mail : 06/10/99 13:26:51
Total over 1662 days: 7322
Average per day: 4.406
I estimate that some 40 countries are represented in the list and we
have members from every continent (excluding Antarctica - is there a
lab there?)
To see a complete membership list send the message
review acb-clin-chem-gen

For those who find it difficult to cope with the volume of mail all the
messages are viewable on the hypertext archive at :

I'm also confident that many people do exercise the option to make
private replies where these are appropriate.
With best wishes
