Notably with all that is going on in our daily lives, few of us have the
time to make comments on "other" subjects. I would like to make one here; in
appreciation of the way that you continue to keep rec.gardens.ecosystems
running and viable, Bill. Moderating a newsgroup takes time and work, this
is rarely appreciated by a ng's users. The quality of information "in here"
is invariably excellent.
Thank you!
