I hate to ask this, but I would like to request something of you out
there who have read my rambles over the years. I have experienced some
serious hard drive problems of late and the 398 essays that I had
already copied and sent to myself over the course of the last two years
has been lost completely. All I'm asking is if you have any of my
writings (rambles)saved to e-mail them to me. And before you say to go
to the archives and rec.gardening, I have, and I am. It's slow going. I
had enough to do one book, and there are enough rambles and pieces to
make two or three books! I am serious about this now. If there is no
one out there who has any writings or rambles I understand. I'm facing
LOTS of research and transfer time to replace what I so painstakingly
had gathered up (and it wasn't a drop in the bucket!) Thanks for
anything ya'll can do.

I expect you already know this, but just in case you don't, if you go into
Google Groups http://groups.google.co.uk/ and put in uk.rec.gardening as
the name of the group and do an Advanced Search, put in your name as the
author and you will only get your own postings. This might speed things up a
bit. Good luck!

(My ref is a UK one of course but Im sure there is a US equivalent if you
need it.)
