Age, Value, Competition


Here are my three cents worth.

Age:
Before spring of 1998 I was 17.  Now I'm 78.  My driver's license says I'm
42.

Value:
The information gleaned from this list is nearly priceless. So much
experience is available at a touch of a button that it is almost scary. At
no other time in history could people help each other from such distances
and diverse backgrounds. The technical information shared and grown by this
list is second only to the growing sense of community I see forming among
members of this list. The coming together of common interests and goals is
what communities are made of. How do you place a value on that?

Competition,Teams,Prizes:
Recently, the excitement of competition among some east and West Coast
growers has sparked some harried and excited posts. There seems to be
geographic holes where participation is considerably less than others.
Might I suggest that we form a list wide competition that transcends the
geographic boundaries limiting us now?
Here's how it might work.
First we build a list wide roster of growers interested in competing. We
then apply some good old randomness when dividing the group into teams. 
Team members will communicate with each other via email and this list.  A
teams score is determined by averaging the weight of each team member's
pumpkin. One pumpkin per team member. Perhaps Mike N. would post the teams
and their member's name and email addresses on his web site?  What do you
think?
