Hi folks, In case there are a few new people joining us (I saw some subscribe messages go by from some folks I didn't know), let me say welcome and give you some idea what you've walked into! <grin>
If there's something you want to know about that is not being talked about at the moment, please chime in with a question or two. People will happily discuss anything you're interested in. That'll nudge things in a direction that's useful to you. Right now there are a sizable number of colloidal silver related topics going on, but also some non-CS stuff as well. There are even a couple of really off topic things that are bouncing around. The list rules, which you'll find at www.silverlist.org, state very clearly that CS-related stuff can be talked about 'til everybody is satisfied (or exhausted!). Also, any reasonable health-related question is welcome (since we're going to get them anyway) and any related answers given, even if they don't happen to involve CS. A good example right now is all the non-CS advice for helping Faith deal with her flu. All I ask is that non-CS-related things be handled more briefly, just until basic curiosity is satisfied and important resources pointed out so folks can continue their research elsewhere. The really Off Topic stuff belongs on our Off Topic List, which you can join as well if you're interested. Instructions at the above web site. Meanwhile, I'm going to ask you all to end the budding debate on animal husbandry, training methods, factory farming, animal cruelty, their perception and sensory apparatus, hunting, and the proper treatment of politicians... Not that these aren't all interesting topics, but certainly not appropriate for the main list! In fact, the whole subject of proper treatment of animals is one of those areas that needs to be avoided, much like religion and politics, since the positions tend to reduce very quickly to irredeemably conflicting premises. Similar restraint is needed on discussions of vegetarianism/veganism vs. meat eating, beyond minor remarks in passing that bear on the topic at hand, which are certainly okay. We've had a good 80 messages today, which is enough for me to ask you all to start to restrain yourselves just a little bit, especially on the off topic stuff, to taper the non-CS stuff as soon as reasonable, and to economize on the short, low-content messages like "Thank you!" and "I agree!" Thanks folks! I always have to depend on each of you to govern your own actions so that I don't need to step in too often and stifle things! <smile> Be well, Mike Devour silver-list owner [Mike Devour, Citizen, Patriot, Libertarian] [[email protected] ] [Speaking only for myself... ] -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
