Neither do I.

Well, I might have replied to your cell phone posts, but I don't own one.

A project is being spearheaded to get groups of people together, including aboriginal organisations, so that remote communities -- who suffer from high unemployment, high rates of suicide, and 70% unemployment rates in some cases -- can acquire adult libraries, for the first time ever. So they can acquire minimal educational infrastructure which the government of Canada has failed to provide. Yet sending a link to the Left Business Observer list with such information is something so bizarre and foreign to list members that petty, pusillanimous, petulant charges about "spamming" become the focus, simply because I happen also to be a bookseller?
What conviction!

My take on it with the "I did this" was that you visited the link I provided, yet like others who have given their two cents worth you still couldn't understand "what it was all about". Well, I see that I was mistaken there, and so thanks for the much more coherent explanation, but you are quite wrong about the "I did this" part. I am *not* in the business of supplying/selling logs. The project, in fact, has absolutely *nothing* to do with that (read the damn thing). The brief mention of accessing suitably sized timber has to do with access to cutting rights from the Province, not access to a salesman.
