Hi! Doug, Jane & Allan, Sorry, but I am with Doug, although not necessarily of the same political outlook. (I do not know what his interests are!)
I have been ill for a few days and went to the farm to get away from things and was thus computer free. I came back to the normal stack of emails and have gone through and dealt with all the non BD Now ones. With ninety six to go, I am faced with the situation:- do I just dump the whole lot or do I take the time to discard the many "Jane" posts, to see if any one is still posting any thing related to BD or if it is just spam.
Jane, much of what you post I agree with and have already read from other sources. I know your Government is less than desirable. Much of what you post is rewritten from rewritten material from old sources. Those who follow world events have had this stuff in the source material ages ago.
Allan, I really like information on BD and related subjects. I really respect many of the regular contributors to BD Now. Some posts are vital for the purpose of getting information on BD to those interested in BD. Over time I have passed the details of the list on to many others who are also interested in BD, but as far as I know, none are still on the list, largely because of the volume of unrelated material.
Allan, as SYSOP, I believe you must make the decision about the nature of the list. Is it about BD and related subjects or is it not? I would see related subjects including areas like soil science, homoeopathy, radionics, dowsing, organics, marketing propagation, seed collection, alternatives to chemicals, GM issues, water quality, machinery, climate etc. This is in addition to BD and the broader Stiener area.
I believe your current policy is limiting access to the information on this list, as many people are not prepared to wade through the non-BD material to find the core material.
With the greatest respect. Gil
