If you read my reply to Scott you will see my plan for keeping this list on
course. It deals mostly with how to deal with posters and topics that a
number of people object to, an issue that could cause a number of people to
unsubscribe from the list. Some say tht certain human rights issues and
charlatanery within the permaculture movement provida ample justification
for breaking any list rules, stated or not.

Even though I am the same as Steve with off topic posts I much prefer
discussion centered around permaculture design and nuts and bolts making
those designs a reality on a site. I really don't even want to worry or
even think about anything else as these are the things that occupy nearly
all my time every day, year after year. There is a saying that those who
refuse to take care of themselves, who are unwilling to take full
responsibility for their well being, health and future can not be expected
to care for anyone else. I would like this list to show the way toward self
sufficiency, independence, sovereignty and community.

I won't lay down any rules banning discussion of some of the things Scrooge
has mentioned because I value the subscriber base.
Here is a great solution: if you don't like posts or threads hit the delete
key and this is even better: Post what you want people to respond to
yourself. Build better discussion threads that offer what you want. Delete
the rest or ignore it and above all do not respond to what you object to
i.e. don't feed the troll.
