Seed Keepers

[oowonbs@netscape.net]

A few issues here, that I can see.
And pardon, folks. New lists do have a few things to feel out.
And keeping members happy means asking questions, more, at first.

1) We could label stuff OT if not strictly seeds.
2) I provided all addresses here, in case we want jhe ANSWER(s)]
to this question, also offlist. If so, who gets the honor of the 
tallying?
3) How strongly do you feel, whatever you feel?

We could ask... thusly...:
1 Seed Info only!
2 75% seed talk. Tell us just enough to follow the topic,
elsewhere, if we choose.
3 Neutral, Or 50-50.
4 25% seed talk is ok. We have to learn to grow them, to
 trade them. If trades are totally offlist, WHAT do we discuss?
5 Hey, talk garden all you want. Don't care.

For now, I vote 3, +/- 1.

I use as fodder for the fire, the recent eggplant type being
unknown. Imagine 15 folks asking him... offlist. I think we
are so new that many of us will need more time to decide this,
and, new lists, morph. But folks, TELL us what you feel,
beforrrrre you UnSub!?! LOL!!! Please!

BTW, I can send the handicapped info, that I got offlist,
offlist, if you ask.

Ok, people, is gardening talk part of what you're here for or do you
just want to swap seeds?  Do you want a different list provided for
gardening conversation?

Morgan, who if she gets a vote on seed swapping etiquette would really
like to ask that people contact the people offering or wanting 
privately
rather than on the list unless private email bounces.
