But Tom... it isn't. And that is because of the evolution of this wonderful
rollercoaster. I guess it started out as a few people chatting...then word
spread and more and more joined the discussion. There was MUCH conversation
at one point about what to call this animal... and since we were comfortable
with the exchange of information as though it were a turbo-charged robin, we
continued to call it the Daylily E-Mail Robin. We had pins printed and
everything. Only when the group swelled toward the 100 mark did a member
from a University offer listserver service... which we now use. But, it
shall forever be the E-Mail Robin.
