Wellll, since you asked...  <grin>

Actually no.

Everyone seems to think that there is an OT: category. In reality there is
not. The OT categories are:


OT-PLANTS: other garden plants (not irises)
OT-ART:    iris-motif art and craftwork
OT-HUMOR:  iris-related humor
OT-CHAT:   personal messages and conversation (consider taking it off-list!)
OT-BIO:    introduction from a new subscriber (please follow with your name)


In the particular case of your message, I commend you for changing the subject
from OT-BIO: because the subject of your message is about something else. I
think the best one would have been:

CULT: WELCOME & WEED WACKING!!

Thanks
