Not wanting this thread to just reach 100 pages in an aimless way...a flurry of one liners...
Rooftops, I think that Rumsfelditis is way too flippant a description of the major, genuine, considered concerns contained in this thread expressed by many on many topics. I think of Biosecurity, corporate ethics, cross breed impacts to name but a few...
During the development of this thread many questions have been asked of ITLD and his ethics, business procedures, economic judgements, his relationship with the Co-Op. He has answered most of these well and tried to be open. Thank you Murray.
The discussion has occasionally become hostile and emotive but has always managed to come back to reason via self regulation.
A great number of people have felt able to make their views known, ask questions (leading or otherwise), and generally take part.
I think that this has been an educational thread in many areas and I personally have learnt quite a lot about some people's character and business approach, oh and some technical details too.
I think that when Somerford started the thread he had hoped to raise interest and awareness around this Co-Op initiative. He certainly achieved his aim and although he has taken some flak on occasion for the way he has challenged the project I think he deserves credit for his effort. Thank you Somerford.
So if we take the thread to 100 pages or 1000 posts what will its value be to others? Will it have any? I think it will, do you?
