Tone of messages



    
 	I am very sorry for the nasty tone that some recent messages have 
had. It seems to me that the purpose of SANet is for people to exchange 
ideas. Some ideas may appear kind of "off the wall" to others. But keep 
in mind that it was not that long ago that "sustainabale agriculture" was 
also considered a pretty crazy idea by many people. In fact, especially 
for those of you on graze-l, it was not that long ago that the very idea 
that you could profitably use the pasture resource for commercial milk 
production was considered by most people (farmers, extension, and 
researchers) to be close to insane. 
     It is clear that the people sending these messages are not 
interested in rational discourse on the issues, but rather with letting 
people know how upset they are. I suggest that we ignore the more 
unpleasant messages and move on to other issues.
