GW has been shortening the length of their retained back posts. I had not known that. Still, no matter which GW forum one is on [and this happens on all of them], it would be nice for people to at least look through the FAQ first. [BTW, for any new folks, it's not that we don't WANT to answer questions, but it does get awful 'old' to repeated answer the same ones when the info is already there if a bit of research is done.] Now on the flip side Kev, if I did a search and received "872" threads, I have to admit ... I would not sit there and try to read throught them all first. By the time I finished that my hypothetical "phal" would have died. However that is also where folks would hopefully figure out that using more than one key word would narrow their search down considerably. Happy growing!

You certainly did - I wish you success and a larger collection.

I don't usually consider myself dumb, but with this forum I sure feel that way. I did actually put "conversation" in the search box and maybe I found it. I don't know what posting box with related forums that people are talking about. This is just taking too much effort............it ain't fun.

How do people think of these clever & attractive things? http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/junk
