Re: [ccp4bb]: I vote for 1 ccp4bb with messages having informative subjects.

[Dirk Kostrewa]

I would like to join John Tanner's view and vote for one ccp4bb with a wide variety of topics (one can always use the delete button if a topic doesn't seem interesting enough)! Best regards, Dirk.

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.

And that is what makes it popular. Everybody finds something useful. I agree with Martyn's point that subject should be sufficiently clear. Garib On 4 Nov 2005, at 13:12, George M.

I don't understand all the biological stuff but some of the contributions are quite educational. George Martyn Winn wrote: Hmmm, I thought this suggestion would come up sooner or later. My understanding is that the value people get out of ccp4bb is that their questions reach the whole community. Splitting up ccp4bb will dilute that benefit. We will never get a service that everyone likes, but my feeling is that most people are happy most of the time. -- Prof. George M. Sheldrick FRS Dept.
