While I appreciate the hard work that you and other Wiki editors do,
does it really matter at this point to divide up the areas of DIYbio?
If an area is out there, i.e., something referenced in a legit
article, press release, etc., then it should be in Wikipedia. If not,
then wait till you can cite in Wikipedia.

Q: What does DIYbio do?
A: Find out whats been done are list it. Ideas are just brainstorming.
When something has been created, then we can say DIYbio has stepped
into that area.

Q: Where is DIYbio heading?
A: This is where you talk about things like printing prosthetic limbs, etc.

Thanks for working on the Wikipedia entry, Michael and all others
