Subject: [NAFEX] Please CEASE global warming thread

Dear List,
I have received several complaints about the recurring "global warming
thread".
I hope the regular participants have concluded that they are unlikely to
sway those who hold the opposing view.
While the qualifier of "OT" excuses some threads that are minimally
related to fruit growing, let's give global warming a rest. There are
plenty of other outlets for those who wish to vent their views.
At this point there is no plan to change the privileges of the regular
participants, although it may be necessary in the future.
FYI, in years past there have been several of the more experienced
contributors to the list who quit because they were disgusted with
increasing "chatter". Please consider that you may be chasing away those
with significant knowledge by filling the list with OT posts.
