I know everyone does not like this accidental use of the PBS bounce or email that is 5,000 lines long. I would like to suggest the use of a Forum to replace much of the email discussions. Being new to PBS I don't know if a forum has been tried or not. Leaving the PBS bounce for more important information to be passed on. We could use one of the free hosting sites for a trial run. Then decide after a bit if it is a viable alternative. There are many people who only read and do not participate in discussions and I think that is not good. Lets face it, it is a bit intimidating for someone who has no technical or scientific knowledge of bulbs and blooms to send out an email to be read by very knowledgeable people. I dare say everyone has at least some little bit of knowledge gained through experience that would be of interest to all. We are an organization of hundreds (thousands? i dunno) of people but yet it is only 8 or 9 people doing most of the sharing of knowledge.
