permaculture

[Katherine Steele <ksteele@steelemoon.com>]

This is so exhausting.  Another International Permaculture List was  
started not long ago and set up primarily in response to the poor  
moderation skills and unbridled temper of this list's host. Read the  
purpose and guidelines and register here if you like. http:// 
openpermaculture.org/mailman/listinfo/permaculture_openpermaculture.org

A list serve host's job as I understand is not only technical but is  
primarily to facilitate conversations and *prevent* conflict and  
flaming, rather than generate it.

It's a real shame that every few months all the subscribers of this  
list have to go through this.  It feel's abusive.  Though I don't  
post here often, I throughly enjoy reading this list and have learned  
quite a bit from all of you over the past few years.

Larry why don't you let someone else host this list for while.  You  
really continuously cause people to get upset and some resort to  
leaving.  It's sad when things like that happen that could be avoided.

Take a break and let someone else drive and maybe you could learn  
something from observing their style.

Peace
~Kat

ps thanks lauren and others who spend time/energy and awareness on  
this  and go through the ringer for it
