It might possibly be the best current use of the USENET. Tim Curry noted that a standard format be used. I second the motion and offer the following up for the populace's consideration: The Subject line should be the title of the paper. If the title is too long or not descriptive (tsk, tsk), something more concise could be used. Within the body of the article I recommend the following fields: Title - Authors - Affiliation - Abstract - . . . Availability - For those of us with automatic bibliography systems, it might be nice if this standard could be fairly rigidly maintained. I realise this might be a problem for the new/ignorant net users, but perhaps it's worth a try. Comments?
