Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["TradingPostPaul" <tradingpost@riseup.net>]

I saw one recent reply that included an entire digest but on the whole the 
people on this list are absolutely the best, far as that's concerned. For 
many posts I want people to see what's being replied to. And I see a *lot* of 
lists, believe me, and I run five others. We don't have "LOL missives". I 
suspect you're thinking of some other lists, like Market-Farming or 
GardeningOrganically. We also don't see spam because I catch it before it 
goes out. It means some delay in seeing your post come through, but who wants 
all that noise?
