5.13 What questions are best answered elsewhere in Usenet? (sci.chem)
a. Anything concerning Usenet and Internet abuse, guidelines or behaviour.
- Start in the news.* hierarchy, such as news.admin.net-abuse.misc.
b. Anything concerning the provision of Internet services by your provider.
- Start in the specific, in-house, discussion groups - this includes
any apparent, sudden lack of posts in sci.chem.
c. Anything concerning illicit drugs.
- Start in the alt.drugs.* hierarchy and the rec.drugs.chemistry group,
as the various FAQs point to diverse chemical information sources.
- Refer to sections 13.1 - 13.6 of this FAQ for some available choices.
d. Anything concerning Ludwig/Archimedes Plutonium.
- Start at sci.physics, as they directed him to sci.chem :-). If you don't
like his posts, killfile him. Please don't start a campaign to remove
him, as all that happens is the group usually get flooded with junk.
For those interested in his theories, try the following WWW site.

e. Anything concerning bubbles in newly-opened drinks.
- Start with sci.physics, the solubility behaviour of dissolved gases when
the pressure is reduced is predominantly a physical effect, although
section 19.4 briefly touches on the subject.
f. Anything scientific concerning the Ozone Hole and Climate Change.
- Start with sci.environment, in particular with Robert Parson's superb
FAQ on ozone, and Jan Scloerer's Climate Change - The Basics, both
available at the rtfm.mit.edu FTP site for Usenet FAQs. Non-scientific
discussions should always be moved to talk.environment.
g. Anything concerning explosives.
- Refer to sections 13.7 - 13.10 of this FAQ for the available choices.
