Seriously, there is a vast quantity of text out there already. I
don't think video is very helpful to our interest, except possibly in
terms of propagation where one might want to see, for example,
twin-scaling. When I edited the Rock Garden Quarterly, we had several
articles with step-by-step photos of techniques like splitting
boulders or propagating certain plants. I think those are helpful.

I'd rather see our material kept on the PBS website rather than on
Facebook, which as I understand it cannot be accessed except by
people who are registered with Facebook. I am one of those who have
some psychological resistance to Facebook. Maybe it affects people
who reached adulthood before the self-esteem movement and are
disturbed by the proliferation of self-publication and TMI on the internet.
