Thank you, Scott. And I would hope that Greg and whoever else would remain 
with the group, or that reflection will bring them back soon, as you note. 
If some statement doesn't resonate with me, I delete it (or file it for 
later) and wait for a thread that is relevant to me at the time. I just 
appreciate the chance to imbibe in the thought processes of all these 
amazing folks. Oh, that balance of not taking ourselves too seriously in 
these very serious times. Viva permaculture and permaculturists. Cindy from 
Riverdance Farms
