Healthy soil and sustainable growing

We can all do better now and then, but it's not a constant problem like so 
many lists I see, and those "rules" are honored more in the breach than the 
observance. Looking back over the last several days I see little needing 
trimming. And sometimes entire posts need to be included for context in a 
reply. We have a high signal to noise ratio; we're not bothered with all the 
aimless gossip and nonsense on many lists. Frankly I have no real criticism 
of those who post on this list. And it's the most respectful and courteous 
group I've ever seen.
