We have completed a first draft of Appendix C for the FAQ.
It is a listing of newsgroups, news letters, web sites and off-line
addresses that are thought to be of interest to the group. It is listed as
a convenience. We would welcome any suggestions as to the structure or
contents of the Appendix.

Please look it over and give me your comments either by e-mail or
by post and once we get the pieces together, we will add it to the
FAQ.

Thank you

Appendix C: Related Newsgroups, Websites, Mailing Lists and Off-Line
Addresses

There are lots of newsgroups, websites, and mailing lists on
the Internet that have relevance to the home gardener. New
resources come on-line almost continuously while others fall by
the way side. This appendix is a listing of the names and
addresses of some of the more relevant newsgroups, websites and
mailing lists for the home gardener following organic gardening
and/or IPM. The appendix also lists a number of off-line
addresses. An effort is made to keep this appendix current.

We are open to suggestions as to additions or deletions.

C.01.*: Newsgroups

Not all usenet newsgroups are available at all sites. It depends
on the groups the site administrators choose or have available.
Talk to your site administrator about adding groups of your
choice. See the search of usenet newsgroups at:
