[medit-plants] Re: the medit-plants email forum

Dear Heather

I didn’t know about MPG, but have just had a really good nose around — so much useful info and I love that I can access the archived lectures. I have bookmarked a few for evening reading/watching. Thank you for such a brilliant resource.

All the best

S.

Hi Sean

I sympathise with you because it takes me a lot of work just keeping MPG (www.medpag.org) ticking over. Just basic bits and bobs and replying. From what you say, and what I know of your other loyalties and interests, if I were you I’d close this email forum, though it’s be sad, but you have lots of other things going on. Whatever you decide, thanks for what you’ve done so far.

Heather

Subject: [medit-plants] the medit-plants email forum

 

Just an FYI ...

 

There are almost 60 people still subscribed to this forum. There has been some recent renewed interest (a couple of new subscribers).

 

I'm quite frustrated with managing the Facebook group that grew from the original medit-plants forum - FB keeps changing things, seems to have a specific agenda that doesn't support the group, and there has not been enough people stepping forward to help admin.

 

I'm tired.  And don't like contributing (through FB use) to one of the wealthiest men on the planet.

 

Some people in the FB group have asked if there is a forum to use instead - I pointed out that this one does still exist.

 

To those of you still subscribed here: Do you welcome the VERY occasional email from the forum?  Or would you choose to leave if it became more active? (I happened to find out from one of our members that he had his email interface delete medit-plants messages! I did him the favor of removing him from the list).  Should I look into deleting medit-plants entirely?

 

Don't regret anything about starting this back in the mid-1990s - it's been a very enriching experience, and I met many wonderful people!  I also don't mind keeping medit-plants going - just looking to 'lighten my load' a bit with the various internet things I've created over the years.
