Hello all: I haven't followed this group since about 1992. I'm a
small organic, dahlia grower in Iowa, and was wondering about the
rules on this group. Is it moderated? Are you allowed to promote your
own business (e.g., tuber sales)? Can you post a link to your own
website?

Not moderated, and some of us, at least, will take exception to
solicitations.

If you just leave your signature as is and help answer questions, I'm
sure that you will be greeted warmly. Be advised, we do have our own
assortment of loons. Who they are rather depends on your point of view.

I'm accessing the group via Google Groups, and didn't see that these
questions were addressed, other than the general admonition to not
post spam. I suppose any unsolicited promotion might be considered by
some to be spam, but my own criterion is that the advert be repeated
multiple times in a short period. What's the protocol here?

Tightly wrap tape around a roll of dimes.

thanks
