Frankly I do delete. Argumentative posts are not helpful to the list. Informative posts are. There's a difference. Consider that. I think if you want to incessantly argue a point it should be taken off list. But that's just my two cents. Certainly can't speak for anyone else. I'm absolutely not looking for a fight...I just want the list to return to the helpful and collaborative sharing that it used to be instead of the heated posts I have recently observed.

I have very long experience running lists of my own and I keep up with many
others along this line. Do not try to make me the issue. That will not mask
the life and death issues small growers have to deal with to survive. I am
on their side, esp organic, low-input growers struggling to do something
they believe in. If you are not concerned with those issues, or if you
don't like something I say, please feel free to use your delete key.

I'm just an observer here, but I do wonder if you have anything better to
do
than send posts that are highly contentious? This used to be a very
informative list of people collaborating with their information. Lately
it
seems as if proving a point is the goal. Perhaps we could agree to
disagree
on some things and get back to sharing useful information?

You made it a point to say:
There are tractors and equipment ar Colemans, and his latest soil prep
tool
is battery electric powered.

And:
I would be surprised ( perhaps ever pleasantly surprised) if you could
show

me the numbers where labor is cheaper than machinery in crop production.

If you were not implying Coleman is a liar and a fraud in claiming "we
no
longer dig our garden", and not claiming that machinery is cheaper than
labor, then I'll say no more about that.

If you'll try to specify what it is you're disputing, maybe I can
respond.
It helps to take a definite position and support it. I'm not inclined
to
guess what you're driving at. Try it.
