Re: [SG] Peat moss

Hi Chris.  Funny you should mention this.  I was just reading
through the mail and I have a note here from someone who sent me
a note to forward to Jenn on behalf of that self-same
organization, requesting that I post the note and present the
"real facts".   (Confusing enough?  Me too.  I don't know why
this guy can't send his own mail.  Or this woman speak for
herself instead of the guy.  sheesh!)

Frankly, I'd love to get the Peat Moss Association folks (NOT
the PR people, which I suspect this woman is ... having worked
for a number of less than environmentally friendly corporations
in my time, one quickly recognizes the jargon ... sorta pat) and
the Wetlands Conservation Council in an IRC room or a Mining
Company chat or something similar and let them debate.  I find I
learn a great deal from such roundtable discussions/debates.
I tend to find what I consider to be "realistic" somewhere in
the middle.  :)

Let me work on this.  I might be able to arrange it.  Is there
any general interest?  PLEASE don't "yea" or "nay" on the lists,
please.  All the listowners will kill me.  And rightfully so.  A
private note will do nicely.  If there is interest, I'll pursue
it.

In the meantime, I will forward this note from the Peat Moss
folks momentarily.
