Michael, It is true that <geoengineering> will become more like <climateintervention>, although with the filter just slightly ratcheted up.
If someone wants to complain about Andrew's moderation, please feel free to send me an email at <[email protected]>. I will retain"ownership" of the group. I will also help moderate a little more actively through this transition, as I think we would like most people's email to go through without moderation unless they have been abusive in some way. Also, recall that there are two paths to join <geoengineering>. You can go to <http://groups.google.com/group/geoengineering> and look for appropriate links under 'about this group' or you can send an email to < [email protected]>.
