Well Sacha, you certainly made this group come to life
today, revealing that there are many more lurkers(like
me) out there that only contribute occasionally.

I did subscribe a few weeks ago to a DIY group out of
curiousity (DIY is really a pet hate of mine - I just
get forced to do it!). I gave up after about a week,
as it was running at around 200 posts a day!

KEEP URG GOING I SAY

What seems to have got lost in all the brouhaha is that my original
idea was to keep urg going by suggesting people look for new topics to
discuss.

Well, maybe it's time to comment now that the blog appearance has been
dissected to oblivion. But a general comment on its content first.

I read the blog, and the trouble is that it was too long as it was
really a rant. Short rants are fine; long rants tend to make you turn
off half-way through. And it seemed to want to cover several subjects.
In then end I had trouble seeing the wood for the trees. Was it for or
against GW? Was it about getting children interested? Was it about
supporting nurseries and growers? Did it want more or less detail in
GW

all topics that have been discussed in urg, some endlessly :-( Quite
why anyone thought we needed a blog to remind us to discuss them all
over again beats me.
