permaculture

[Gryphon <gryphondanu@earthlink.net>]

Thanks for the link to the new listserve Kat. I've had it with the 
rudeness of this listserv's moderator -- and so have many others who 
have privately contacted me off-list. As a result, I'm unsubbing from 
this list and signing up for the openpermaculture listserv. I certainly 
hope the climate's more temperate there!

Blessings,
Gryphon

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
