Saundra,

Although I agree with most of your post above, I disagree about many of
Roger's emails.  Food safety and nutrition are important issues nationally
and locally.  Roger's post and links are informative and helpful in gaining
an understanding of these issues.  The same with many of his posts about
local informative plant and wildlife lectures and field trips.  There is
much to be learned by citizens in this area so they they may advise
politicians and vote accordingly.

Photos of cats may be cute , and there are likely to be many that enjoy
them, but they are not very informative or issue provoking, so do they
belong on a forum?  Let them be posted on a private website or sent to a
private list-serve.
