I agree absolutely. It's invaluable. John Nissen

It is invaluable even if it strays into too much politics occasionally. John Gorman ----- Original Message ----- From: Ken Caldeira To: geoengineering Sent: Friday, December 19, 2008 7:00 PM Subject: [geo] REGARDING DETERIORATION OF GEOENGINEERING GOOGLEGROUP Folks, The original goal of this googlegroup was to transmit information that would be useful to professionals and informed citizens concerned with issues relating to intentional intervention in the climate system. The quality of posts on this group has, in my opinion, deteriorated to the point that it is no longer able to fulfill this primary purpose adequately. I think there are two basic options: 1. I can moderate this group more ruthlessly and reject any message that does not actually transmit new relevant information or raise a question that has not already been discussed at length. ( In this case, I will make many enemies as I reject messages from well-intentioned people. ) I will not have time to give each submitter of a rejected posting my reasons for rejecting the posting. 2. I can abandon this group to people with much more time on their hands. So, for me, the question is down to tightening the reigns, or letting them go. Comments?
