One of the things that I have enjoyed about GOSA and the geyser list is that the participants seem to be interested in all manner of scientific topics. In my opinion this is a positive thing. One could argue that cyanobacteria and meteor storms --two topics that have been brought up on the list in the past-- have little to do with geysers. Yet I found these discussions interesting and informative. Further, geologists do publish articles on geysers in a journal that is devoted to volcanology. The commonality, is, of course, geothermal energy. In my opinion it would be wrong to place too narrow an interpretation on what are suitable subjects for posts on the list. Curiosity is a good thing to share with others. Finally, I would argue that posts about NPS policies that are relevant to Yellowstone Park are also suitable for inclusion.

St. Helens Web Cam Unless I'm mistaken there are NO GEYSERS at Mount St. Helens. Isn't this a GEYSER list? I was chided and rebuffed for attempting to post something that related to NPS policies, Yellowstone was even mentioned in it as an important National Park. St. Helens isn't and has no relation to the purposes of this list. I ask the moderators to PLEASE CEASE these postings. Post this stuff elsewhere.
