Asian Disaster...off topic-so shoot me!
Hello I have sent the following message to the Premier of the Province of
BC, Canada. Should you feel the way I do then you know what to do. The peoples in the disaster area need help and they need it now. Not tomorrow but now. Should anyone want to send me spam-go ahead. To the rest of you, there are many that need our help. Gary Fort Langley, BC Canada |

We are sending our donation via www.dec.org.uk NOW. -- Alan & Joan Gould - North Lincs. |

Presumably this twit thinks the premier of(etc) has no clue what is going on in the rest of the world and will only jump in to action once he finds out via this persons email! What I'd like to know is, why he thought it useful to notify a UK gardening newsgroup of this, considering its re the premier(etc) of some place in Canada. -- Tumbleweed email replies not necessary but to contact use; tumbleweednews at hotmail dot com |

Well I won't be lodging a complaint but I do rather question the posters logic as it would seem they are more likely to offend rather than drum up support. That said I have donated here in Ireland but not because somebody else wrote a letter to some politician :-) -- Chris Thomas West Cork Ireland |

Rotary clubs across the world are already sending shelter boxes, which include tents and water-purifying equipment, so I have decided to contribute to that. -- June Hughes |

I gather that personal contributions have been coming in to www.dec.org.uk at £1 Milli0on per hour for 36 hours or more. Keep it going! Franz |

It's amazing to me that we have been so worried about man made disasters and
terrorism over the last few years and mother nature just has to make what is the global equivalent of a slight hiccup, and we have an unprecedented disaster one our hands that has affected many countries directly and almost all countries indirectly. It has affected all religions and faiths and just goes to show how impotent we are in the face of nature. Perhaps it will bring countries, communities and religions closer together, and have more of an effect than other so-called peace initiatives. Mike |

But that's only where it _begins_! Better still to adapt one's lifestyle _without_ spending money, and send the spare cash where it will do some good. Mike. |
