Most of us signed on for the smithing
content.

For some reason lately the topics about
the ABANA board have had legs.

As this list is comprised of smiths, and
there are active discussions on these
topics , I suggest that they are
smithing content.

If we share the agenda of spreading
education about forge work, then a
certain amount of discussion about how
well ABANA is doing in that area, and
its soundness as an organization is , I
feel, appropriate.

This topic will disappear as soon as
folks stop contributing posts on it.

Nobody is being hindered from
introducing new topics. I would be
interested in seeing some responses to
the Charcoal forge/ forge design topic.
I am moving my forge inside and have the
opportunity to redesign it.
