Sometimes, I cannot bear to just weed out (and kill) a plant that is not a weed in my mind. I threw the maple in a pot, I may have watered it, but if I got the clump of dirt with no root damage, I may have just potted it and left it. I really paid no attention to it. Last year, when it was so colorful, I noticed it, and moved it to where I have other trees in pots waiting to go into the landscape. Then, I paid no attention to it. It may have gotten water from me as I watered the other trees. That's it. I have some maples here that plant themselves in pots! I will try to get a photo. It is raining today. Also, I have to have my neighbor come over with her digital camera. I will post by next week, I think. Robin

I think that someone else went through the same thing recently. I believe that she finally gave up and registered again. I think she had to change her name slightly. Maybe you could just drop the "s" off the end of your sign in name, and use the new email. Good luck! Aggie

hmmm. thought I replied to this earlier...must have had a SM. Anyway, emails sent via GW have not been reliable for months, maybe a year or more. Since I am an active trader, when I start a thread, I ask that traders reply to the thread, and email me. I also ask that if they do not receive a reply from me, to please get my email addy from the form here at GW, and then to email me privately (non GW). Many members choose to not let their email addy be seen by other members, and that only means that chances are, they will not be able to always be reached, due to the unreliable email here. It has been reported repeatedly (I believe) but doesn't seem to have high priority at getting fixed...that or it is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Maybe once the new THS server is up, running, and trouble free, some other things can be given some attention...or maybe the new server will even fix the email snaffu. Who knows? Sue

I had problems there the other night too. I put in all my information about myself, and saved it. Then when I went to see if it was there it wasn't. So I had to write it all again! but it worked the second time. Pretty frustrating!
