EcoModder newsletter for September 2020

We've just emailed our monthly newsletter where we highlight interesting/popular recent topics from the forum.

If you didn't get yours, it's either because (A) you have declined to "receive email from admins" (control panel setting); or (B) your email service has decided I'm a spammer (check your junk mail folder)!

Here's the meat of this month's newsletter:
