YES!  This is true.
 
There is NO need for folks to fear *separation* from this group if it becomes
a UseNet group.  For example, all of the bionet groups exist as both a UseNet
group and also as a mailing list.  Also, many of the listserv groups show up
on UseNet and remain as a listserv group.
 
I _really_ like the idea of moving this to UseNet.  There already is a group
called sci.techniques.microscopy and the bionet.* groups are well established.
 
Under the bionet hiearchy the group could be called something like
 
        bionet.confocal
 
or better yet:
 
        bionet.microscopy.confocal
