Hi, When someone suggested changing this list to a forum earlier this year, it was pointed out that there is already an excellent forum for bulbs sponsored by the Scottish Rock Garden club and expertly run by Maggi Young. A number of people in our group belong to it as well as to the pbs list. It and the pbs list are both open to anyone who wishes to join and both have many knowledgeable and helpful participants. Maggi and I had a long exchange after this when it was discussed before and someone alerted her to it from our archives. There are advantages to each group. The biggest difference I believe (I'm not a member of the other mostly because I have no extra time and I'm sure I'd get hooked quickly) is how we handle images. Images are much easier to add in their group as they become part of the forum and the posts. We don't allow attachments or images to be added to the message. We do allow people to add images to the wiki, but this takes a bit of effort to learn how to use. On the other hand it is probably easier to find the images later on the wiki and with other pictures in the same place of the same genus. Since both have been in existence for quite awhile, they each have an established following. Our list started in 2002, first on Yahoo. People come and go to this list, but we have almost 500 members. I understand from Maggi that their group is even bigger. We are both proud of each group and grateful for the contributions from the people who belong to each. Mary Sue
