[Summit] in short

[Ben Rackliffe]

I think your spot on of what the majority of people are getting at  
here... Helping neighbors find local vendors falls squarely under what  
this forum was set up for. General health articles that apply to all  
of mankind, while welcomed by some, fall outside this listserv's  
intended scope.

The approach here needs to be utilitarian,ie  What brings the greatest  
benefit for the majority? I think the answer is to confine the sna  
mailing list to it's intended purpose for functionalities sake.
