Option 1: you can subscribe to new posts on this website and we email you a summary of all new posts once a day . Just add your email address below and click subscribe…

NOTE: in order to make sure we only get genuine email addresses, you will first receive an email from ValleyExtension.org with a link; by clicking the link you activate the subscription.

Option2: for those who know and like it, subscribe to the RSS feed ( posts and comments )

Can I unsubscribe?
Of course – anytime you want off the list, you go back to this page and unsubscribe your email address. Or, if you are logged in already, this page will display a link to do so directly.

To leave a comment…

Anyone can leave comments on this site. Here are some questions to keep in mind:

Can I make comments anonymously?  Yes, you can if you choose so. We are a small community, so sometimes this may be appropriate

Why do I need to leave an email address ? We do ask you to leave an email address and a name. The email address is a unique identifier, but will not be posted. People only see your name, which can be an alias if you want to post anonymously. The name is for people to address you if they want to react with a counter-reply (NEVER with an email; the email address you use will not be posted, nor will it get you on some mailing list).

Can I say anything I want? Well, no…You don’t just say anything that comes to mind in a person to person discussion either (well, most folks don’t). Please be responsible, respectful and to-the-point. We do moderate the comments after-the-fact, and if you consistently cross the boundary of respectfulness, you will force us to moderate before posting – which would be a pity…
