Hardly anybody posting. Is it the change in seasons? The advent of
(sob) the early dark? Or -- the elections?


For me its not the elections. This is the "off season" for gardening
and there isn't much to post.

Also, this news group has gone WAY down hill in the last few years. At
one time it was "all gardens all the time". Now there is so much off
topic stuff that it isn't worth reading most of the time.


More off topic stuff.

³How can a people who have struggled long years under oppression throw
off their oppressors and establish a free society? The problems are
immense, but their solution lies in the education and enlightenment of
the people and the emergence of a spirit that will serve as a foundation
for independence and self-government.³

Lots more timeless ideas to chew on at the URL.
