Robert,

Greg Miller, our "list-owner" posted this on April 10th (message 7126)

<<<<<<
2. There has been debate since DAY ONE, when the list totalled all
of about 10-15 members whether the list should be for dues-
paying NAFEX members or open to all who choose to subscribe.
Concerns about eroding NAFEX membership, content of posts,
quantity of posts have been balanced against input from a broad
expanse of experience. To date the more open standard has been
in effect, which in no way minimizes the strong opposition several
respected contributors to this group has to this practice.

One concession is that the instructions on how to get to this list
would be printed only in POMONA, the official publication of
NAFEX. The other exception is invitations extended to other similar
organizations like the BC Fruit Testers Assn. "Unapproved"
pointers to this list have leaked out, as is inevitable on the
internet,
but that is why this list in "unlisted" on yahoo, as is was on
egroups and onelist. (And yes, the info on the cover does need a
little updating.)
>>>

This list is open to all, but there are some who are strongly against
this.

My interpretation: Recommend this forum if you wish, but be very
judicious about doing so. (I have done as you have up to this point:
(recommended NAFEX, but not point out this list)).
