I've been a member of NAFEX, and a user of the listserve, for nearly 20
years.
There has been more 'traffic' in years past than in the most recent year or
two.
farming, seed keeping and permaculture lists
and this one. Why: mostly the social media and lax standards on what
constitutes worthwhile discussion
It would be nice if we could restore that traffic pattern in this list.
Years ago it was amazing with value beyond price,
still is of course.
I've come to 'know' a lot of folks across the country - and the world, for
that matter - through participation and reading on this listserve.
I can probably count on one hand the number of list participants whom I've
actually met, face-to-face - but that doesn't preclude me from calling them
my friends, and I don't hesitate to ask for or offer to share information,
plant materials, etc. It's been a very gratifying experience over the
many years, and I have techniques and plants that would have otherwise been
unknown to, or unavailable to me.
Yes, I'm on FB, and see some of the FB posts - and have responded to a few;
but the NAFEX email discussion list is still my 'go-to'... Both platforms
have their place/use, but for me, the listserve is more effective.
