Pumpkin Mailing List email postings are all saved.....HERE

Yes, every posting which has the address of pumpkins@athenet.net is
saved to a homepage for everyone in the world to read. I review all the
pumpkin mailing list postings every morning to see what has been said
without having my personal e-mail box being filled with individual
pumpkin e-mail postings.

mailing list e-mail postings for everyone to review. The purpose of this
is to save the postings for people in the future to see what we did in
1997 to grow large pumpkins and other garden related issues.

So if you lost a e-mail posting and you wonder where it is, look in the
archive. If you are trying to find out that persons e-mail address look
