Re: [GWL]: Garden Writers' Guild

Forgive my intrusion into this thread.

I am a member of a few Yahoo Groups and Clubs (e-mail
forums similar to this Listserve).

Yahoo provides a "Home Page" whereby owners,
moderaters, and/or members can put up links, photos,
archives, whatever.  There is no charge to anyone. 
The organization and presentation within each module
(be it links, photos, etc.) may not be the prettiest
but it is easily useable.

I thought Topica has a similar offering.

Because the comparison is too simple, I get this
feeling that what you have in mind is something way
beyond this and that I haven't heard the historical
contemplations on this subject.

Would anyone mind filling me in?
