Please don't go

Linda,
    Please don't go.  This group does run the gambit of topics that is for
sure. And sometimes life does involve things outside the garden. Many times
we feel helpless with some of the circumstances around the world and in our
own country. We need to talk it out and not feel that we are the only ones
who feel that way.
    I hope Ashcroft isn't listening ;)
