The first should be:
    <http://straylight.tamu.edu/MoBot/welcome.html>
					    ^
The second responds to me, but says "server too busy right now."

I work with Time Life's "Virtual Garden" Web site
(http://www.timeinc.com/vg) and am interested in gauging the
receptiveness among the readers of rec.gardens to posting information
about what we're adding to the VG. I know commercialization of this
newsgroup is an issue among the readers, and we respect that. But at
the same time, since we are not charging for access to the VG, this
information would seem to benefit all readers.

Please, send me email to josh@hand.timeinc.com with your feelings.
(I'll post a summary if there's interest.)

Thanks,
-Josh Hartmann
