<div>I understand that the digest setting can be helpful for some people, but the group decided</div>
<div>to eliminate that feature. I don't know if it is possible for an individual to get the aggregated</div>
<div>emails without the whole group getting them as well. I'll find out and get back to you. </div>

<div style="word-wrap: break-word;">Hi Susan,
<div><br>
<div>Thanks for all your work on this!</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I noticed this afternoon that it had been switched from digest, and so I went in and thought I'd successfully put myself back on digest - I am actively working to thin my inbox, and digest is the only way I'll stay on this list (or any list). Now I seem to be back off of digest - could you please advise if we have a choice, and how to make it? Thanks!</div>

<div>Dear fellow gardeners,</div>
<div>We are going back to the Sustainable Ballard/Urban Crop Circles "mailman" program for</div>
<div>electronic communication. It is sometimes referred to as "the listserve." Many of us were annoyed by the </div>
<div>excessive verbiage that accompaned every new message coming through the mailman. We temporarily </div>
<div>switched to using an email list, but that list was time-consuming to update and had accuracy problems. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Michael Wolf diagnosed the problem with the mailman system. It was set on "digest," the default setting, </div>
<div>which allows hundreds of emails to be bundled and sent together. We shut off the "digest" setting. </div>
<div>Now you should receive only the latest message. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Directions for using the mailman system: </div>
<div> </div>
<div>1. Sending messages: type <a href="mailto:urbancropcircle@lists.sustainableballard.org" target="_blank">urbancropcircle@lists.sustainableballard.org</a> into your browser. </div>
<div>Your message will go to everybody on the UCC list.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<div>2. Subscribing or unsubscribing. There's no need to notify me or Paula about adding or </div>
<div>removing names from the list. You can do it anytime yourself. Here's how: </div></div>
<div> </div>
<div> Go to the link at the bottom of the Urban Crop Circles message page: </div>
<div> <a href="http://lists.sustainableballard.org/listinfo.cgi/urbancropcircle-sustainableballard.org" target="_blank">http://lists.sustainableballard.org/listinfo.cgi/urbancropcircle-sustainableballard.org</a></div>
<div> Click on the link. When you get to the UCC page, scroll down near the bottom to the </div>
<div> subscribe/unsubscribe form.</div>
<div> Put your email address (and name, if you wish) into the appropriate place on the form</div>
<div> click "submit" </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Paula put together a list of our email addresses. She'll send that list to us </div>
<div>as an attachment to a regular email. That will allow us to contact each other individually. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Jean and I, and possibly Paula, will make a trip to Nicklesville this Friday, June 11, to deliver more planting</div>
<div>pots, compost and plant starts. Tonight UCCers donated plant starts, batteries, blankets, a tarp and a pair </div>
<div>of shoes for the residents of Nicklesville. Thanks to everyone who made a donation.</div>
<div>The Nickolodeans could use other items as well:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>more plant starts and seeds (including flowers;) socks, band-aids, cough syrup, scrap plywood for boardwalk</div>
<div>paths on their muddy campground; fleece jackets, rain jackets, </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Please leave donations on my porch by 9 a.m this Friday. My address is 740 N. 82nd St. I live between Linden </div>
<div>and Fremont Avenues North, 1.5 blocks west of Aurora Avenue. My phone number is (206( 782-1836.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks much,</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>

It is very difficult to control people who can create products without purchasing inputs from the system, who can market their products directly thus avoiding the involvement of mercenary middlemen, who can butcher animals and preserve foods without reliance on industrial conglomerates, and who can’t be bullied because they can feed their own faces.<br>
