North American Fruit Explorers mailing list at ibiblio

Sherwin, you crack me up. Describing young folks interested in permaculture, 
horticulture, botany, fruit exploration, food production, organics, climate 
change, ecology, community building, plant breeding, networking as 
Facebookers because they happen to be on a Facebook group is nothing short of 
phobia. As for off topic and digressions, you apparently haven't been on this 
list all that long because along with all the amazing discussions that have 
taken place here, those are inevitable byproducts of any forum, chat, group, 
bulletin board.  People are people.  Let a 1000 flowers bloom.
