What is a Pc purist?
Isn't this just a question of how we define Pc.
I've always viewed it as a design system based upon
ecology and sustainability. You can't design without
an objective and for Pc the objective seems clear. If
we believe in this definition then i would think most of
us would be uncomfortable with industrial ag. Does this
make us purists?

Possibly, I should let folks label themselves. I try to point out to folks that compromise, imperfection and resistance to change are all par for the course in the real world. I saver every tiny victory that makes the place more sustainable and firmly believe that it will be these small steps that will get us to a better future. Furthermore a 10% improvemt on millions of acres have more net impact than a 100% improvement on a few hundred.
