A self-censorship is a good idea. I think we all sometimes run out of new ideas and contributions, then a time may be when silence may be gold. Sometimes old ideas get forgotten, and deservere resurrection after a considerable time. Thus, no good ideas get forgotten; time may also refine old ideas. My feeling is that the climate change negotiations are going nowhere as fast as they should: so we will need plenty of geoengineering ideas and approaches to resolve ourselves from the mess rather sooner than later!

Hi Further to recent list discussion, I write to clarify the moderation policy. Firstly, it's important to state that there's no political filtration. I don't care what stance a poster takes. It's simply not a factor in my decision making. Secondly, most people aren't on moderation. Occasionally, I might not get round to taking new people off moderation - but only a few people (about 10) are deliberately moderated. This is because they have posted non-permitted content, or very repeatedly posted marginal content. FYI: you won't get your own posts. That's just how Google works. If you want to check what's posted, look online. If something seems to be stuck, email me. I *am* responsive, but the emails I get when someone posts don't get into my inbox - so occasionally they get missed (I'm trying to fix that.) Now, in more detail... Here's what's permitted : *Anything about geoengineering, with a preference for stuff that is new, impactful, well referenced, peer reviewed OR engaging *Anything that's remotely related to geoengineering, that's exceptionally good (by most or all of the above criteria). Here's what's not permitted *Short posts with little or no content, eg "I agree" *Repetition of arguments, information already posted - particularly when the poster is already at the margins of acceptable posting frequency *Poor English. If your post isn't written at the standard of a high school essay, it won't be passed. *Profanity, obscenity and abuse - whether personal or otherwise. *Ad hominem attacks, particularly against list members, and particularly against individuals (as opposed to institutions). *Madcap ideas. If your new fangled idea lacks any kind of calculation, obvious logic, etc., I'm not going to pass it. (I'm a graduate engineer, and if it can't make any sense of it, you probably need to try harder.) *Obvious drivel. Climate denial, chemtrails, etc., will not be passed. Any comments on the above are welcomed. Thanks A -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
