For example, " Bush wants to invade Iraq for the oil ", to some people, this is the truth, and to them it would retard the developement of BioDiesel as a viable option for the average consumer. As a result of some of these discusions ( which I tried to stay out of at first ), I learned a few things. It does not mean I totaly change my stance on the issue, but, I am a little more aware. > This group is one of a number of sources of information that I have begun to > use.

This list, is like anyother, some of the info will be of use to some but not to others. I scan the subject line, and some of the info., and if it is no use, or I don't want to be apart of it, I deleat it, and most of the other items with that subject. If on the other hand, It is of intrest, I save it for future referance, and I make a point to check all others with that same subject, saveing the useful info, deleating things like the "Thank you" and "Your welcome" post.
