The guidelines for the group are now:

1. ALL POSTS SHOULD BE RELEVANT TO INTENTIONAL INTERVENTION IN THE
CLIMATE SYSTEM.

2. NO POST MAY MAKE AN AD HOMINEM ATTACK OR SPECULATE ABOUT SOMEBODY
ELSE'S MOTIVATION.


3. PLEASE SIGN YOUR POST WITH YOUR REAL NAME AND PREFERABLY ADDITIONAL
CONTACT INFORMATION.

I will by default reject posts by new members with bogus names. For
existing members, I will do something only if there is a complaint.

Best,

Ken
