Dear All,

Since there have been a couple of private questions and now the message
from Dave Fenwick perhaps I need to clarify. Some of our newer members
may be puzzled. Our pbs list and pbs wiki are hosted by ibiblio.org, a
group based at the University of North Carolina. They make space
available to non commercial group and are very supportive of information
sharing. We don't pay for this service as we are not a commercial group.
If members of our group start advertising what they are selling to this
group we could be in trouble and lose what we have.

This does not mean we cannot share resources and tell each other about
sources of seed and bulbs that we like. We have had topics of the week
on favorites in the past. This is information sharing and quite
acceptable. Feel free to do this all you want. I think it is great to
support some of our list members in this way. But if someone mentions
they are looking for something and you are selling it, please contact
that person privately and tell them instead of communicating on this list.

I hope this explains my comments earlier. From my stand point and I
suppose that I have a bigger stake than most because of the time I have
put into it, losing the list and the wiki would be a very unhappy event.
