So, what are you saying then, Shimrod? That no-one should talk about less important issues?

Because no-one appears to be worrying about the major issue of our time - the state of the environment!

I worry about it as I suspect everyone does. Just because I am not talking about it all the time does not mean that I do not care. There is a world of difference between not discussing and not caring. Do bear in mind that Mudcat is a trivial web site with a small membership. It is the place to discuss trivial matters, such as folk music, cakes and deck chairs. If you want to evangelise this is not the place to do it. If you want deep meaningful discussions then I can only suggest that you try elsewhere. Sorry :-(
