Jan. I "see"- guess I should say - understand your point. (in honesty, I'll 
have to admit i never heard of NT - what section is it? Most of the others I 
can "translate" having been to Australia))  Pehaps we should go one step  
further and indicate what section of the U.S. since we span such a large area 
also.   As far as horticulture problems, the zones help to coordinate how to 
handle problems, but it might be more interesting to even spell the states 
the way we used to do it, before the P.O. got into the act and decided the 
names had to be reduced to 2 letters.  Typing  is not so confusing, but in 
longhand, MD, MO, MA,  even MI if you're a sloppy writer, can be open to 
question.  What I had in mind was to say "northeast, southeast, central USA 
or  Midwest, Rocky Mts.,and West Coast, - or something like that.  But 
considering the difficulty in getting people to put their zone and home 
state, anything more will possibly be impossible.  And just to do it once,  
doesn't help those who  log on after that time.  Oh, well, nothing is 
perfect.  Rosalie nr Baltimore, Maryland on the East Coast, one of the 
Mid-Atlantic States - was the buffer state in our Civil War (1861-1865) - the
