Re: Listserve abuse by Lon Rombough


Amen, Jeff.  Take it from someone who has run a high volumn gardening list 
himself, the moderation here is very heavy handed and often arbitrary. I

BTW, Jeff, my daugher is contemplating a move from southern Arizona to 
Alaska. Is she going to run into any gardening idiosyncrasies?
