Perhaps we're all jaded a bit (or maybe it's just me), but it would be nice for those with academic/commercial/(academic + commercial?) interests like this to take the time to find out what the initiators or members of a list think about this concept before just barging in. It's a bit like having a private conversation with friends, when someone joins in, and the next thing you know, they're asking about what kind of cars or movies you like, and whether you would consider this brand or title. In the era of spam and phishing, there really is no good way to authenticate who someone like this is and whether they are representing themselves honestly. A brief scan of the CGI form suggests that this has something to do with marketing research for thread-tracking software. Greg
