Well, I'm not sure what the consensus is; but, the discussion of
Casey's model *belongs* on the Modelling list.  The division 
between the two lists is modelling vs. support, meaning to imply
that the modelling list is for discussion of models and their 
implementation in Swarm and the support list is for discussion of
problems, bugs, suggestions, and general code support.

There's been some discussion of having just an install list; but,
I tend to think that fracturing the list prematurely would do 
more harm than good.

So, feel free to discuss the details of implementing a model on 
Swarm-Modelling.  But, try to keep those focussed usage questions,
like "Passing arguments in a list" on Swarm-Support.
