Might I suggest some more NodeNet list possibilities?:

Data Security
Physical/Self Security
Privacy Issues
PR (Applied Memetics forwarding extropian ideas)

If you don't have any NodeMasters already, I would like to volunteer for
the following areas,
or whereever a volunteer is needed. I would even be willing to
volunteer in nonspecialty areas until you can find a proper NodeMaster,
if it would help.

I'm not sure what qualifications you deem necessary. I have a computer
degree and a business degree. I have minors in mathematics, biology,
psychology and education. I have my own network and network security
consulting business. I am the author of the _Nutrients_Catalog_, which
American Libraries magazine calls the "ultimate nutrition reference."
(See <http://www.gate.net/~baird/nutrientscatalog> for reviews and
recommendations, including the sci.bio.food-science FAQ.) I have been
taking life-extending suppliments since the early '80s.
