Thanks for the comments, but...

My longwinded two cents worth.
You can be as longwinded as you like.
Can we now get back to Bio Diesel!?!?
No, in a word. This is not a biodiesel list, it's a biofuels list,
and that's not just a quibble.
When you joined the list you were sent a "Welcome" message, which
you're obliged to read. It referred to the List rules, which you're
also obliged to read. The List rules are here:
http://wwia.org/pipermail/biofuel/Week-of-Mon-20040906/000005.html
They say this, among other things:
Some newcomers don't realize at first that it's a *biofuels* list,
not just about how to make biodiesel. Biofuels is a much more
wide-ranging subject and it comes with a context. With such an
international membership, what has "nothing to do with biofuels" is
a matter of opinion. Anything that has to do with energy has
relevance for biofuels issues. Similarly, though the focus is on
"ready-to-use" technologies, discussion of all alternative energy
technologies and topics is welcome. ("Free energy" scams might not
be very welcome.) [But they're not banned - K]
So the discussion is free and open. That is a long-established
tradition of the list, much discussed and endorsed by the majority
of the list membership. There aren't a lot of rules, but that is one
of them: no calls for restricted discussion. It's a discussion list,
not a less-discussion list.
That said, the Biofuel list is also a very good place to learn how
to make and use biodiesel, with about the best resources there are
and many experienced biodieselers who are happy to help.
That rule is stricty enforced. Saying something like "Can we now get
back to Bio Diesel!?!?" could get you booted and banned.
Anyway, there's plenty of room for everything, nobody is forcing you
to read anything you don't want to read. Messages have
subject-headers. Technical discussions on direct biofuels issues
continue all the time. If what you want to discuss is not being
discussed, then start your own thread. If you find that other
people's posts that you are not interested in are hampering you then
you need to improve your email skills. See:
