It may be useful to recall why the MEMS electronic bulletin board and MEMS discussion group came to be. The bulletin board and discussion group are part of the infrastructure activities to lower technical/informational barriers and help people in industry, academia and government use and get involved in MEMS. It's encouraging to see new and inexperienced people who are trying to get involved in MEMS come to the bulletin board first. Asking ISI to filter these messages in any way would be inappropriate.
