Subject: Limiting Bioenergy List Email!! - I do not see the need
Tom Kreutz,
Welcome to the bioenergy lists. We look forward to your contributions.
The volume and nature of some of the postings on Bioenergy do put people
off. As Yrjo, Skip and Will have commented, most of us simply delete the
messages that we're not interested in.
We've used an open style on the bioenergy lists because they are intended
to serve both as a point of contact and discussion. As you'll note from the
description that follows, we draw from a broad spectrum. While
contributors attempt to provide thoughtful replies of general interest,
many of us are not in circumstances that lend to composing summaries. And
list content is moderated entirely by volunteers.
A great deal of information is generated on these lists that could be
summarized, indexed or listed in bibliographic format. Anyone is welcome to
the task. Steve Segrest has done us all a favor by developing good
renewable links on his Common Purpose website as have EREN, BIN, NREL and
others. The lists are archived in HTML at CREST and you will find that
Bioenergy messages do appear in typical Web searches. You can also do a
keyword search on the CREST site.
Regards,
Tom Miles, Jr.

Current subscribers to the lists are engaged in the research and commercial
production of biomass crops and fuels, the conversion of biomass power in
commercial operating plants, the construction and testing of commercial
scale pilot facilities for combustion, gasification and anaerobic
digestion, testing and analysis of environmental impacts for bioenergy, and
promotion and planning of future bioenergy resources.
This is a cooperative, volunteer effort that is now in it's fourth year.
The lists are moderated and managed by volunteers. We appreciate the
support of the Center for Renewable Energy and Sustainable Technologies and
the National Bioenergy Industries Association for hosting the lists at
their site.
