- I suspect that if sci.physics.research isn't the waste of quite so much
- time that sci.physics is, it will be higher-volume than sci.math.research.
- I think this because hep-th, the high-energy physics (theoretical)
- mailing list has vastly more entries and subscribers than the algebraic
- geometry or category theory mailing lists. So apparently there are more
- physicists hip to Internet things. Allen K.
