Re: Allow further discussion of related topics for sqfting?

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

You raise an important issue. We could look at this paraphrasing the religionists and ask "What would Mel do?". My thought is he would react similarly, throwing out the "poison ivyists and little kitty feetists" from the SQFT temple, while at the same time welcoming and nuturing those that come questioning "who is Mel and what is SQFT?" and asking that we continue to spread his message.
 
I concurr that we all can  >benefit from others' opinions of form, function, design, and experience.> as you so aptly state.
 
My raised beds where I intensively practice vegetable SQFTing do not stand alone in my gardening world. I also practice the SQFT concept in how I plant, space and intermingle my flowers, shrubs and trees.
And so I would suggest these would all be appropriate to discuss in this venue.
 
The difficultly is when you have a few people who prattle on and on about inane things that have only the most tenuous relationship to the general intent of the SQFT list.  Years ago we had a poster to the list named "Old John" who would occasionally take the proverbial 2x4 to the head of off topic posters.  Some left, but others would become positive contributors and in general the list tended to be self policing with Melissa only occasionally having to step in. As they say "the more things change, the more they remain the same.
 
Besides, gardening season looms before us and the number of OT posts will greatly diminish -Yahoo!
