[CHMINF-L] Thomson Scientific Launches New Citation Impact Forum

[Eugene Garfield]

While CHINF-L is undoubtedly one of my favorite listservs it by no means
covers all aspects of citation metrics--nor does ISSI. Another important
listserv is the Metrics SIG of ASIS&T which can be found at
SIGMETRICS at LISTSERV.UTK.EDU

hmmmm... I thought CHMINF-L already did this well.  Also there is the 
ISSI (International Society for Scientometrics and Infometrics) list 
too that definitely covers metrics of all sorts!
  Is the Thompson forum aimed at reaching the average researcher?
