Another 2 cents worth to Bob, and Bob A., and Bill, and etc.....
You are all correct.... It is a forum to discuss HOSTA! H O S T A......
So in addition to the requests that the political, and salacious joke
material be omitted, may I also point out and request that since this
forum is about
H O S T A
we can perhaps eliminate the annoying, time wasting, hard drive
cluttering posts re children, schools, guns, hunting, squirrels, trees,
shrubs, dogs, daylilys, etc. etc. etc. ad infinitum, ad
nauseum..........?
I have finished venting. One final note. I have had to open an
additional email account just to handle the volume, from both here and
Hostapix - Probably 50% of it is NOT hosta related. My message filters
are NUMEROUS.
