permaculture

[Andrew McSwain <aeromax.way@gmail.com>]

Agreed.

It is a shame about Dick, I hope he hasn't pushed the button yet.  Thank god
for email-subject headings, I stopped opening the petty threads about a
month or so ago, but although this leaves me at an advantage in some
respects (I don't waste my time ), I now find myself in the dark as to why
that  this beautiful meta-neural-learning-culture that sits quiety in my
email inbox is losing density in it's mycelial mat!!  :((

Perhaps because of my neglect of the silly glove slapping ego-fights, I am a
bit confused about some things. As for closing down publication of the
forums and not letting new people enter: I am not too sure that I understand
how keeping all of the fruits to ourselves is going to keep us safe from
immaturity. Help me understand what I'm missing here.

Much appreciated,
Andrew
