Dear CCers,
     I've been giving the recent discussions pro/con on commercial postings 
some thought, and it occurred to me that I enjoyed the comp.chem list much 
more when there was a somewhat greater commercial traffic.  My research 
entails, in part, computational analysis of proteins/enzymes.  As we all 
know, this is a far less robust science than AMPAC, MOPAC, DMOL, GAUSSIAN, 
etc. when applied to small molecular systems.  Thus, we biochemistry/
biophysics types are constantly looking for substantive enhancements to 
macromolecule-oriented software and, I guess, are more interested in 
commercial announcements, accordingly.  I've also noticed that postings 
from biochem/biophysics types have been very thin in recent months.  Food 
for thought.  Cheers!
