Re: [GSAS-board] Fwd: [AGA-Member] RE: Madagascar Lace plant

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

Anyone can sue anyone in this country.  Having been involved personally in 
one such suit, without any merit whatsoever, I speak from experience.  It 
ruined a small part of our life for over two years.

But I still beleive that this should not stifle discussion.

The fact that GSAS uses a mailing list rather than a forum means the 
discussions sit only on the archive, which we could make private at any 
time.
