You taking the **** or what? ha ha ha. what is it you do there,
gardening?


Biomedical research, largely on mice, but I have a background in
molecular genetics

To assume that I speak for the University of Dundee is to be deluded.


If you advertise the fact, then you do, otherwise lose the
assosciation. Have they authorised you to talk a load of ******** on
their behalf?

I doubt it but we'll ask.


The above was added as a disclaimer after some idiot failed to make the
obvious conclusion without it. In discussions with our IT people on the
matter my suggestion that I add a disclaimer was accepted. I rather like
my formulation of it. If you choose to conclude that I speak for the
university after reading it then it will apply to you too.

In addition if the university did not wish its staff to access usenet it
would not provide a server with a (limited) range of usenet groups on
it. Neither would it propagate those posts. The server tells me off for
excessive quoting and asks if I'm sure I want to post to all these
groups but that is about it.

BTW picking on me because I am not craven and do not hide my identity
would be more credible from someone who does likewise.
