Thomas Koehler wrote:

in principle I have no problem with a rietveld usegroup instead of a mailing
list. But I am somewhat unhappy with the location at bionet: I'm a
completely "anorganic" user of the Rietveld technique and my concern is,
that the discussion will be biased toward organic crystallography. This
exactly is the point why I don't read science.techniques.crystallography:
90% of the contributions to the list (at least at that time) were protein
crystallography or similar stuff which were not very interesting for me.

Quirina Roode replies:

I am in full agreement with Thomas here. The possibility of getting
swamped with biological and organic crystallography is definitely not
favourable for my area of research. Otherwise I support Lachlan for
all the nice extra facilities that will be possible with a newsgroup.
Thanks Lachlan.

Best wishes,
Quirina
