Three years ago today, May 22, 1995, the first message was posted to raw-food, then veg-raw. It has been quite a ride since then with the list going through many changes including the name change and switching to searchable archives. Raw-food remains today the only on-line forum that welcomes the discussion of all raw-food diets and I appreciate you all for making this possible. :-) The list is in good shape with 134 subscribers, up twenty the last couple of months. The nationality breakdown is as follows: Germany = 9, Canada = 3, France = 2, Brazil = 2, Finland = 1, Japan = 1, Italy = 1, Australia = 1 New Zealand = 1 and with a few possible exceptions the rest from the US. The participation rate was last month 33% with an average of 10 messages a day. I welcome our new subscribers and hope that you will feel inspired to share of your thoughts and experiences. Best, Peter [log in to unmask]
