I really hope you don't follow through with this. I regard you as one of the
most valuable contributors to the list.
We need you here. If you leave, the message archives will not be accessable
to you [see below].

I was being too lenient allowing certain subscribers to go ahead an do their
thing,
resulting in the conflagration you objected to, as did many others. I took a
chance
hoping that noone would unsubscribe. This time there will be no further
disruptions from those four
who are now banned permanently from the forum. They will not benefit from
the public archives either as I have
changed them to private, viewable only by subscribers. I trusted them and
they let me down. I feel that they were
intent on damaging this forum from the beginning. When I reflect on the
thousands of hours I have put into this list since I started it in 1992
and its level of usefulness to so many now I am very disappointed that so
few can do so much damage to a great forum such as this,
for no other reason than spite, pomposity and selfishness. This will never
happen again. I apologize for anything I may have contributed to
the problem, including my off topic posts about the military. I had a
feeling I should have put those responsible for this situation on moderation
or should have suspended them from the list long ago, but I didn't and am
now paying the price. Never again.

This permaculture list is now a private one. It is about permaculture and
nothing else, no politics, no religion; human rights and ethics are OK as
long
as there is a permaculture connection, i.e. use of permaculture to help
folks, as in the case of PC training for National Guard units, aid, relief,
missionary or consultancy work.
The archives are not viewable by the public and Google will not be able to
search them.
Subscribers may read them by logging in with their user name and password.
Instructions for retrieving your password in case you
have lost it are on the list homepage:
http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/permaculture. If after reading
those instructions you still
can;'t access the archives then email me for help.

I hope to revert back to having public archives again eventually, sooner
rather than later, hopefully.
