Dear netters,

This is a summary of the responses I received to my query on organic chemistry 
mailing lists.  A number of people seemed keen on the idea.  Apparently earlier 
attempts to kick one of failed, possibly because few organic chemists had 
access to email.  I intend to publicize the virtues of the following list at 
the Organic Chemistry Division of the upcoming Royal Australian Chemical 
Institute meeting.  Maybe someone attending ACS and European meetings could do 
likewise.

Phil Endacott from the University of Kansas also kindly offered to set up a 
mailing list if no-one else could help (thanks Phil!)

Dick Caldwell indicated that the ACS had set up a list about 2 years ago, but 
it died.

Hope the idea and the list kick off.

Dave
