Re: Now what?

I plead guilty.  I've marveled at the rose thread...it speaks volumes about the value of the list.  It's obvious though that garden writers are the same as the rest of the species...they don't pay attention.  Maybe the solution is to simply bite the bullet and just run one list...the original, one and only...GWL. It's become an invaluable tool and I only hope you can put up with our transgressions.
 
One thing that got me into garden writing was the lack of factual information in the gardening column that appeared in our local paper.  It was chatty, common and absolutely lacking in science, horticulture and reason.  If nothing else the GWL has offered those who write such tripe an opportunity to learn from others.  I don't know of any other place where this is happening.  It sure doesn't happen through GWA.  So please, please...don't abandon the list.  Maybe banish those who are beyond hope and continue to post personal messages, those who insist on pasting in the entire question and offer only a one line response and those who  continually post messages that "oops, that wasn't meant for the whole list"  but again....please, please don't abandon us.  I promise I'll ask a list 'appropriate' question at least once a month.
