I have no idea what an ISP is & have no interest in learning about it.
But I can say that in these past 3 months that I've been reading this
site I have benefitted (i e - almost free seeds from Bob M. & not paying 80$
for them). I do not care to see seed auctioning; as I come
to this site for advice & info. The weighing site I went to last year
charged an informal 5$ weighing fee for each pumpkin entered as a
means of prize $. This along with some sponsers was enough. Keep
up the good work & please no more auctions or I'll leave.
