On another site I'm on, we can "close" the post. We can click a link that adds the word "CLOSED" to the beginning of the title, informing folks that the offer is no longer available. I know a lot of folks just don't take the time to read all the posts on a thread. BC

I had a problem with my HTML coding which meant that the wording about the prices being for comparison purposes was not showing up. I had tried to put a link to an external website just before that wording and apparently that either wasn't allowed or messed things up somehow. I think it's fixed now, so thank you for catching it so quickly and for letting me know.

Hey, maybe if we just do a new thread in both places, as "Spring Plant Trade 2013". Copy everything absultely pertinent to the event and go from there. I read some were unclear about it if they were not following it from the winter. GGG- I am told I am doing better than 99% of people who have this surgery, I am 'younger than most', healthy and active enough, the Ptherapist said he could they would have to put a bit in my mouth to hold me back. Almost, it is hard to keep me down, and I may be pushing it a bit. Mine is called a long segment fusion, illeac fixation, then from sacrum to T10. I also have a C5, 6 , 7 fusion that is over 15 years old. This surgery was a long time coming, the objective was a complete reconstuctive correction because of scoliosis, the spina bifida had caused a lot of my problems for 35 years, but the spine was collapsing, causing all the stenosis and nerve compression. Many problems, symptoms, affecting my whole lower body from armpits down. It was a tough pill to swallow, but it was not hard to decide to do it, the other options meant not walking, etc, eventually losing all function of my lower body. I was going to email you, but didn't see the option, hope your back doing better, maybe it would be best for just a smaller group. I would still be in, and have a friend who loves to trade, etc. she is just not active here. It is up to you entirely. I have been here about everyday, I'll keep checking in. :-)

I would vote to have seed exchanges and sase's on this forum. I got some rare seeds that I wanted (thanks John) by browsing this forum. I was not looking for them and would not have thought to look on the exchanges forum (especially since I did not have anything worthwhile to exchange). The trouble with the exchanges forum is that the peppers get lost among the flowers etc. If we are going to be forced to use the exchange forum might I suggest that the word 'pepper' be included in the subject line. This is superfulous on this forum but enables you to bring up the peppers using the search function if they are on the other forum. Brien
