I cannot explain it but feel the server's bad habit of often
prepending a spamflag not only puts people off but also means the
message is discarded unseen. Unfortunately there is nothing we seem to
be able to do to edit it out.

health issues.  Anyone else able to expand on any stove topic?

We have possibly fallen below the critical mass of regular posters so
posts don't seem to be commented on.

Of course we all miss personal contact, but the formatting has included plenty of time (can be more than one-on-one) for interesting dialogs.  Five half days is a lot better for me than 2.5 full days and two half-days lost in travel time.  Also able to have many more papers from over-seas.

This must be good for  regular attendees' carbon footprint.

There has been such NPP success with farmers using the biochar that their TLUD (a fine one built locally) can’t keep up with demand.   In some cases,  Julian's Bangladesh TLUD is being used only for making biochar (for soil application) - no cooking.
