Re: sqft: recipes etc. - admin note

Folks, this is not open for discussion. The list has
a well-defined scope, and preservation and cooking are
not part of it. There are dozens of other places on the
Internet to discuss these topics.  I am really annoyed to
have to post a third admin message to stop a non-gardening
discussion thread, so I am giving fair warning now that
I will start unsubscribing people who continue to debate this
issue via the list. You are free to exchange views privately
off-list all you want.

In case you haven't realized, lists are not democracies.
I have an obligation to my system administrators to keep the
traffic on the list on-topic as defined when they agreed to
provide the server space for the list. I am not in a position
to expand that scope even if I wanted to without getting their
approval, a request for which is more likely to cause the entire
list to be shut down completely. Most folks don't realize it,
but list traffic translates into real dollars for my institution.

In other words, accept the list for what it is -
a *sqft gardening* list.
If you have other needs, look elsewhere, not here.
