Carol,
I agree, newcomers should not feel intimidated.  All of us old heads have
suffered an embarrassment or two or ten  when we stuck our two cents into a
discussion and realized we didn't have a clue; On the other hand, how does
one learn if one does not participate?  One of the things that keeps this
job from feeling like a job is that I am a perpetual student.  I learn
something new almost every day.  I've written a book about compost and still
have a whole lot more to learn about compost.
So for those on the list holding back when they have a comment or
question.....don't.  The only person you should be wary about is Jeff
Lowenfels -  his stuff is usually off the wall, but this is because he is
from Alaska; everyone else on the list are normal, well adjusted, really
together folks.....yeah,  right.
Jump in newbies, the water is great.
Jeff
