Right you are. The list was inactive so I thought I would enliven it
with a few curiosities, purely for evaluation purposes and personal 
enlightenment,
and to spur on those "watching the skies".

I did ask if we should confine the purpose of this list to permaculture per 
se.
I did not mean to excluse sustainable agriculture but to move non-hands-in-the-dirt posts to the sustag list, i.e. 
activist stuff; that would include environmental, political and human rights issues too. They can all go to sustag
where they will find a good home. Those who want to post and read about that stuff can go there; those who want pure 
permaculture can stay here and have exactly what they are looking for. Just a suggestion. The seedsavers list has nearly 
100 members. The approtech list will soon be ready for those hands-on nuts-and-bolts types who want to get into 
appropriate technology in depth. If anyone wants to get into broad-spectrum sustainable agriculture then sustag is the 
place to go. I'd like to see that list go places because the only other one worth anything is run by the gummint and 
there censorship and lost of offtopic crap to wade through; low signal to noise ratio, iow.

This one, you mean?

Permaculture is a design system for creating human settlement based on
natural systems and the wisdom of past sustainable cultures.

Permaculture in interested in everything that impinges on and sustains human
life, community, and a sustainable planet.

One would be hard pressed to find a subject that didn't interest and that
wasn't critical to permaculture practice.

While I think that a lot of the postings on this list carry on ad infinitum
on certain subjects, mostly the range of subjects is very creative and
helpful.  I certainly could have used a few thousand megabytes less of the
SSE controversy.  I have certainly contributed my share to the diatribe's
tribal gatherings in the past.

To leave out sustainable AG harkens to the suggestion a couple of years ago
that we leave forestry out of the permaculture discussion.  Leaving out
either would cripple any discussion of sustainability - which is the end
goal of permaculture and nature.
