I'm Back...

Maybe you old-timers remember me from years back. I'm a small timber owner
thinking about soaking in the newsgroups once again and just downloaded the
last 500 or so headers.
Welcome back. That makes two small timber owners here. You didn't find
much in the last 500 headers, did you? :{
Would the (original) bionet site be a better forum if I was to concentrate
on just one? There does seem to be an abundance of political offtopic
titles here? Gee, and I thought the political arguments with Zorzin (race,
bigbrother-mandated forestry, etc.) was on the high side!
I have to admit there's a dearth of forestry information here. I just
keep reading because there are a couple real foresters who post here.
Daniel Wheeler is a mushroom nut, but he is a congenial mushroom nut who
also reposts forestry critical news.
The political posters are fairly easy to ignore. Only a couple of them
actually read the newsgroup, and only seem to respond if you respond to
them. I don't think they have any real interest in forestry.
As for bionet.agroforestry, I haven't looked at it for a while. The only
agroforestry anybody has discussed here is Mike Hagen's ginseng crop. I
wish I could have experimented with ginseng, but I only got the
neighbor's cows out of my trees two years ago. I had to tear down some
of my fences, which he was relying on to keep his cows off the county
road. Maybe now that the cows are gone I can tinker with the understory.
