Mea culpa

**"Lon J. Rombough" l*@hevanet.com**

   Having lectured the list on moving non-writing topics to the new
gardening list, I have to apologize for not having done it myself.  The
thread on non-natives hit a nerve, and while it was germaine to garden
writing in one way, since it reflected a viewpoint that garden writers might
consider, it was still too far off the writing mark to really be well suited
to the list.
   Which brings the second point of this letter - the new organic gardening
list.
   I would like to know, offlist if need be, what would provide the
incentive to the group to carry garden-type threads over to the new list,
which was started to allow such discussions to continue without overloading
the Garden WRITING list.    I've moved a few such threads, but no one seems
to continue them once they are moved.  As I've said before, THIS list was
created for garden WRITING, but we are in serious danger of letting it slip
into being just a garden list.
   Frankly, I'd just as soon kill the list as let it become just another
gardening list.   
   We're all human, and very nice ones, too.  But we ALL must maintain the
discipline of keeping the list on topic and running cleanly if we want it to
live up to it's full potential.  Besides the fact that I don't like having
to be the "heavy" to keep it running.
   Please, folks, help me out.
-Lon Rombough, list founder
