I figured that out :>) I like hearing your notes and wondered if that last
vestige of homesteading here had ended. Don't stop them, even if you send
them late. It is nice to see what other like-minded people are up to.

When the political back and forth got strong here a year or so ago, I
excused it. I thought "at least it is political banter from homesteaders",
now I just delete it. I hope this list survives. I was on here in the
"heyday" in the mid 90s when my homesteading was just a dream. This list was
a big part of my decision making process. I'd hate to be that wannabe
homesteader joining here now.

I like the loose moderation here. It fits the whole mindset of homesteading.
I just wish that we could get some real homestead discussion here. What to
do? Those that are serious about homestead discussion, let's repost intro
messages and reintroduce ourselves.
