Greetings.

This is more of a nice to know than a need to know. I'm curious about why,
among the authors of the Pc works on which many of us rely, we only see Toby
Hemenway contributing to this list. I respect Toby's contributions and
(almost) always find something worth mulling over in his writing. But, why
is it I've seen no contributions from Mollison, Holmgren, Jacke, Toensmeier,
etc.? Any thoughts?

I have wondered that too. Holmgren's wife is a member of this forum as far as I know. As for Mollison, he probably prioritizes his work schedule and excludes this list, and probably all others, as one of his acctivities, not because he feels that we aren't worth his spending time with but that he has offered his books and courses, and that should be enough; the rest we should work out among ourselves, i.e. figure out how to forge the frontiers of permaculture on our own without his watchful guidance in the forum. As for the other writers mentioned, they are certainly welcome to subscribe and I hope people will show them the way here.
