I certainly encourage off-list efforts to promote interest in colloidal silver in newsgroups, and other forums on and off the net.
I would suggest a couple of guidlines that would greatly help... Be cautious who you invite to the list, and do so in e-mail, not publicly. There's no point in making more work than necessary for your list owner! :^O There are individuals and even organized groups who take it as a challenge to disrupt on-line communities. Their efforts can be very subtle. We don't want to spend our energy dealing with provocateurs and closed-minded twits here if we don't have to. Please follow Marsha's example of staying friendly and polite, even in the face of blistering assault. Remember, for every twit that posts, there are *hundreds* who have an open mind and closed mouth. *They* are your intended audience. Finally, don't expect to *win*. Stand up, be counted, and reap the rewards in minds changed. Remember, everybody who can be reached will recognize the truth when they see it. The worse the other side behaves, the better you look. So let'em hang themselves. Our goal in this kind of outreach is to reach those individuals who most need what we're doing here, not win arguments with twits. Know when it's time to let it die. Good luck, Mike PS: It's probably a good idea *not* to let it dominate your efforts *or* overwhelm the traffic here. If the "flame reports" get tiresome, let me know folks, okay?
