The Farm was the product of Steve Gaskin, and I was interested in what the politics of his recent purge from the history of The Farm was about. Up until a couple of years ago his musings had been prominent on The Farm's web pages. But I could find _nothing_ about him the last time that I visited the site. (I just looked again and doing a search of the site found a brief bio in their archives, but nothing about his role in the origins.) It was such a complete purging that I asked on the list if anyone had any information about the motivation.
