Chris if you leave you take all your great effort away from the many who do appeciate it because there are a few who may sound rude. In any group you need armour enough to deflect the few spitballs that are thown. Remember 8th grade? Spitballs? Some here never got past that way of writing. If you leave they win. toughen up ! Bob

Ted,

I agree with you completely. It is not my job to tell anyone here
what to do. I thought we were here to learn about making compost
tea, but various poeple are here for various purposes. The list
purpose is very loosely enforced if at all; it's really become
people doing their own thing.

You have brewed much more tea than I have. That is why when I give
people information, I try to not to overstate what I know. If I have
information, that is from others' experience, or something Elaine
taught, I try to say that and refer people. The reason I started
the project was to learn about compost tea myself.

I think I would be better off pursuing this project with a smaller
group of people, who agree about the kinds of posting they will do
and are aligned on pursuing the project. that is most likely what I
will do. As you say, there is little point in trying to convince
people to do something that "I" want them to do -- that they don't
want to do.

The unpleasantness is just not worth it, and I'd rather focus on
what I think is important and not get distracted.

So, onward and upward Ted.

Chris Reid
