Organic chemistry (synthesis) list lives again!!

[(Dr.) Dave Winkler <dave-: at :-carbon.chem.csiro.au>]

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
