Hello all,

It seems that we have been getting a lot of these queries about
e-mail addresses or normal addresses for individuals.
I do not think that e-mailling a query of this sort to hundreds of people
is enhancing the value of the chemistry mailing list.
Each of us has to read this query and delete it.
Multiply that one minute several hundred times and we are
collectively spending hours to save someone from picking up a telephone
or using some other more convetional way to get a address.
I would like to see this practice decreased a lot without having
to have some rule put into place.

Sorry  about distacting those who are not contibting to this
problem.

regards,
Mike Lee, Kent State
