Dear Uli and Dear all

To attract (a new generation of) plant lovers ( of all kinds and ages) is
not sufficient to have a forum, you also have to include as necessary the
acceptable (digital) behaviors that cannot imitate outdated behaviors from
real life, i.e. exclusion, differentiation, dictatorship, put downs,
preferential treatment, etc. etc. This requires a certain social maturity
that is able to transcend past habits, and they extend beyond a Listserv or
fora. Have the rules spelled out, and also practice behaviors beforehand,
new members will come running! ;)
