Chip's offlist fight with listadmin ended well for all concerned, IMHO, I'm glad Chip agrees. Definitely offlist stuff, the list wasn't deprived of anything. Raking up old coals isn't always a good idea, and this would just have been a distraction or worse. I think there's a lot of offlisting

I like the way this list works -- a few of my other sustainability lists it's very easy to get off-topic (try discussing the political ramifications or drivers behind a sustainbility issue...) and then the moderator steps in and tells you to take it elsewhere. Here it seems like there is no

Greetings, I do believe that many people on this list don't read real well. I did say I was in favor of colonizing the stars, not the colonizing that happened in past history and is happening today by the corporate world. I do find good in many bad situations. Do I wish that certain changes

Hello Kim Greetings, I do believe that many people on this list don't read real well. I think you're relying on it. No doubt a new subject-title and dumping all the evidence helps. The ones who disagree with you read quite well though. The un-keyhole view is of Kim trying to backpedal her way

I hope that too much restriction does not take place because I learn a lot from reading reactions to each other's statements. It helps me clarify my own thinking by watching people try to help others clarify and defend their positions. I want to understand why people feel they way they do.
