Thank God/god. I was hoping that we could all get back to business.
Speaking of which, is anyone out there looking for work on a Central
Illinois CSA farm? We are in need of not only farm work but design and
management of a sustainable distribution system.

Subject: CSA-L FAQ Update, SPAM & Prairienet
X-Sender: jbarclay@mail.prairienet.org
This is to clear up the recent dialog over SPAM, or unrelated posting on
the CSA-L list.
First, happy harvest to those in thick of harvest season. Despite some
SPAM, this is a really well behaved and easy to maintain list and I'd like
to thank everyone for that. Thanks also go to Sarah Milstein (New York)
for co-moderating CSA-L and Communications for a Sustainable Future
(Colorado) for archiving the list on their web pages at
http://csf.colorado.edu/sustainability/plants/csa/
Second, discussions about SPAM (unrelated or commercial messages) are
unwelcome and will not be tolerated on the CSA-L list. Responses about
SPAM have been more frequent than the SPAM which initiates the
"discusssion". If SPAM gets out of control, I can switch the list to a
moderated one in which messages are approved before being distributed to
the entire list. I will put this off as long as possible as this adds a
burden on the list moderator and adds a time delay to list postings. In the
mean time, please don't post responses about SPAM.
Third, Prairienet is a friend of CSA-L and supports this list. The recent
e-mails from Prairienet may not have been useful to all CSA-L readers, but
certainly belonged on the list. As Prairienet users, we need to be
informed about such developments. If two or three Prairienet e-mails in 2
years is too much, this may not be the list for you.
Third, I added these points to the FAQ below (the other 12 points are
beneath the new ones). I try to post the FAQ every month or two as new
subscribers or list behavior dictates.
Happy Harvest,
John Barclay, CSA-L co-moderator
