While many questions and answers are directed at very practical issues and intractable sample or instrument problems, other questions address fundamental chemical mechanisms or concerns about running a resource laboratory. It is rare that a question finds no answer, and many members take a great deal of time to provide detailed information to all of us. The mailing list works very simply and requires only that you check your E-mail. Replies or comments are sent to the same address,and redistributed once again to all participants. You can also sign up via the ABRF WWW Homepage.
Replies often elicit new responses.
This mechanism permits us all to share in the knowledge and amplifies and enriches the discussion. If you use the reply button on your E-mail system, make sure that you also use the abrf address to forward the same message to the rest of us. If you receive responses that have been addressed only to you, forward them to the abrf address or make a summary and send that along. The replies are archived on the Selected Communications page set up by Dirk Krapf so that important information can be easily retrieved. The ABRF Ombudsman is a special feature of the mailing list.
