Jeff,
I have never met you. I'm sure that you are very nice person. I respect you=
r input and the time that you devote to keeping this list going. But your s=
kin is getting a bit thin.

Please do not remove me from this list, but I have to say something

It is you who are responding to people in a rude way. You are the list owne=
r, but in a sense, aren't all of us that participate in it the real owners?=
 Without the masses, who does the leader lead? Whenever someone says anythi=
ng that you do not agree with, you reply with flames from the neather regio=
ns. Please understand that we are not all going to agree with you all the t=
ime. I deal in retail every day and when people come in with a bad attitude=
 or say something that I would rather them not say, I take into considerati=
on that they are have different values than I or they are simply having a b=
ad day.

The response of the quote that you include (perpetual sales pitch) is how s=
ome people in this country, and many others in other countries feel about t=
he United States. And with the style of Corporate Democracy that our leader=
s are promoting around the world, I would say that this quote is not too fa=
r off base.

Alaska Humus is a great product. But when you push it all the time, it will=
 be taken by many to be a "sales pitch". Be cool with that and move on. If =
everyone with a product to sell was allowed to talk about their product all=
 the time, then this would turn into the Tea Shopping Listserve, not the le=
arning listserve that we all so desperately need.

Please be the moderator and not the dictator.

  First, Wow, I really resent that as should the others on this list. I wo=
n't go and look up and see where you are from ......

  I started this list. I keep it going. I keep the crap off it and I advert=
ise only on Sundays even though that is a perfectly stupid rule. I take the=
 heat when, for example, Jose ties to bad mouth Humisolve , a perfectly goo=
d product, or when someone puts up information that using growing molds are=
 fine to use in your teas., I believe Dr. Elaine has suggested the general =
rule and I will repeat: If you don't know what kind of mold it is, don't u=
se it as you can be playing with very dangerous items.

  Second, you may think I am perpetually pushing Alaska Humus, but in fact,=
 it is others who always mention it and for good reason. Just go back and =
read Dr. Elaine's post on it. Or ask her directly. If I am selling anything=
 here, it is making good compost teas that have been tested and that work..=
..

  Third, I tested and tested the pre-additive idea and shared it with all o=
n this list. If you think that is a perpetual sale, tell me what I am selli=
ng? Oh, yeah....how to make good tea with adequate fungal. Sorry, that mus=
t be just an American thing......

  Finally,and this is my real point.....I am this list owner. I will not a=
llow folks to post messages that attack others in a rude way...... Next tim=
e, I will simply remove folks who attack others in that manner. No warnin=
gs either.

  Cheers,

  Jeff
