Hello Lawrence, welcome to the SERAnet.

Thank you Lawrence, for your supportive and understanding comments.

Dear David, this is the Socially and Ecologically Responsible
Agriculture Network (SERAnet); nothing more and nothing less.
When posting to SERAnet, we restrict our comments to Socially and
Ecologically Responsible Agricultural issues, the subject matter
that brings us together here.  We do not criticize other SERAnet
subscribers for things that may have happened on another list at
another time.

Please forgive me for posting this to SERAnet, but it needs to be
said.  In the future, if you wish to express your feelings regarding
such matters, please do so via private mail to the party involved,
NOT to SERAnet. OK?

> I assume if you moderate this forum as well

Lawrence recently subscribed and posted to identify himself and
say hello (he was requested to do so by the message sent to all new
SERAnet subscribers).

I know that both you and Lawrence have valuable experiences,
knowledge and opinions to share with other SERAnet members about
sustainable agricultural issues. Thank you for posting, but next
time please direct your comments to those issues.

Otherwise, I would be happy to hear from you via private mail.

Thanks in advance for your comprehension.

I'd like to hear from the rest of SERAnet's subscribers regarding
the issues that led each to subscribe.

I hope they are now clear. Feel free to contact me should you have
any additional doubts.
