What I find valuable about this international list is the digging into the
complications and inner messiness of permacultural concepts. I also belong
the the permaculture UK list, which has more of the practical 'getting
started' information exchange. (Myk: I think I may have lost contact with
the AL list you set up at one stage -- or is it that list that has gone
inactive?)

Lance highlights the need for keeping these two sorts of discussion
separate -- are there other lists that focus on the 'getting into
permaculture' practical experience sharing? Should the list custodians set
up two separate lists?
