In principle you're right, note though how i tried to be brief, polite
and stay on to the point. Now in reality, you simply seem against
finding solutions as you show again in your following paragraphs and
other mail, it seems more to me that this is the disagreeing with you
that is off topic.
Trying to save the world is a noble cause, but attempting to use this or
any other Haiku mailing list as a means to discuss ecology is simply off
topic.
That "irony" you mention now is the "ridicule" i mentioned in my first
message. Worse problems? Already answered. Ah if only you were backing
that with some science. What is a more efficient way of communicating
worldwide than sending a few electrons through metal? This is order of
magnitudes more efficient than anything else, and some parts already
run on renewable electricity (as our new dedicated server does
apparently).
The very same computers that are used to process all those electrons as
well as the many other electronic appliances that people use on a daily
basis at homes, offices and just about anywhere else you go -- many of
which perform superfluous/non-essential functions in our lives -- not
only consume a lot of energy that are putting a strain on natural
resources, but they also generate a lot of waste that are extremely
damaging to the environment.
So, how about we all give up using ours computer and all other
electronic conveniences to save the earth? Since you are so concerned
about the environment, are you willing to do that?
Cheers,
Jorge/aka Koki
