Bob -

Thanks for your comments.

Yes, I know you are of the 'delete and move on' school. But those of
us who read the list in digest form can't delete offensive posts.

Plus dealing with trolls takes up valuable time and bandwidth on the
list.

And most importantly, it gives the list a bad name! If I were a
potential adopter of compost tea, or an expert from another field
interested in finding out whether there was any truth to the claims
made for compost tea, I'd be really ~repelled~ by the adolescent posts
and personal attacks that fly around, and I'd be skeptical of claims
made for compost tea. Which I certainly am not! But you have to
consider what kind of reputation we are building for compost tea by
the maturity level of the conversation here on the list.

After all, this is a discussion list, not a schoolyard!

FWIW

many more, " out of lurkin".  the irritation would be diluted so an
easy delete is automatic.  No responce is a good solution.  Often
cures the malady.  Bob.
