Dear all,

May I suggest to indeed leave things as they are - not split the bb -  
but then have two 'silent' agreements, which are anyway partially in 
place.

a. To restrain - not constrain - a bit towards the protein handling and 
biochemistry, and attempt to stay out of cloning issues, whenever 
possible and unless its really needed, and when i.e. google 'ligation 
problems' does not give a satisfactory answer.

b. When questions (which must indeed have proper subjects, as they 
mostly do!) are upstream of crystallization, to send the answers to the 
person that asked, and not to everybody. Then the person that asked 
should post one simple summary for update.
