Has anyone ever considered using the 275 gallon IBC plastic totes for rain water collection. We are doing that in the Milwaukee area with fair results so far and will expand the program this next year in partnership with a local non profit and a governmental agency. The barrels while a good original concept do not hold much water even when placed in tandem. Two totes hold greater than 500 gallons and can really take a garden through long drought. We are using food grade recycled totes and new but slightly damaged totes gotten for low to no cost. Bryce Ruddock and the Transition Milwaukee Water Group

I have food grade drums available for $10 each . Most are blue and white.
There's an endless supply.

Shivani has been invaluable in setting up a Wisconsin tour for me in January. Shivani heard I was going there and immediately aranged a dinner with local activists, a workshop at Milwaukee's Urban Ecology Center, and a connection to UW in Madison where I'll be doing a workshop, plus a place to stay. So if Shivani turns out to be a Monsanto troll, I'll be very surprised. This is someone who's pretty committed to working for what we all want to see.

Hmm. Sounds to me like someone who cares about people and not like a "real bonafide professional, paid industry troll or self-styled one masquerading as a normal subscriber"

Did Lawrence do this minimum of research before making his decision or was it arbitrary and reactive?

Does this kind of honest inquiry make me a troll?

Troll: A person who posts to disrupt, distract, incite, or insult, with no attempt to further serious or useful discussion of the topic at hand.

Wikipedia: In Internet slang, a *troll* is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response^or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.^In addition to the offending poster, the noun /troll/ can also refer to the provocative message itself, as in "that was an excellent troll you posted". While the term /troll/ and its associated action *trolling* are primarily associated with Internet discourse, media attention in recent years has made such labels highly subjective, with /trolling/ being used to describe intentionally provocative actions outside of an online context. For example, recent media accounts have used the term /troll/ to describe "a person who defaces internet tribute sites with the aim of causing grief to families."^^

I'm reposting the following sentence in the hopes that I might actually
get a response from the list this time.

Is this too much to ask? Is it difficult to do? Would it be too
embarrassing? What are the problems involved?

The Amish practice "shunning" to express their disapproval of an other's
behavior. Perhaps we can declare publicly that we are selectively
shunning a person who repeatedly violates agreed trusts (rules).

I made all of this perfectly clear in the past three posts I made on this subject, especially the most recent one. Again: it is the 1% of
subscribers who deliberately try to usurp, distract, degrade, divide this list with extremely inflammatory posts who demand immediate action
from me to keep them from going any further, i.e. shown the exit then and there. I will continue to implement this policy. I am not going to leave decision-making about that 1% to the list subscribership. That's how most lists and forums are run if they are to succeed and the majority are far more strict with regard to behavior that is tolerated
than this one is. Then there is the issue of real bonafide professional, paid industry trolls or self-styled ones masquerading as normal subscribers. They do exist, sanet-mg is full of them. These are not commons members and I waste no time locking them out of the list. That's SOP or all good lists and forums.

Its is the remaining 99% that the list exists for and is capable of
using this forum as a commons. The Commons, list usage and guidelines documents on the list homepage apply to that community.

That policy will be followed 99% of the time.
