Well, yes, it would be nice, but it is impeded completely by something much 
more potent than wandering topics! What is that? The practical unavailability 
of affordable horticultural charcoal packaged in a way to make it accessible to 
the home gardener.

So, we can go on and on and ON writing in circles about it, but it ain't 
gonna happen until the charcoal is available. All the stuff about making your own 
is fine for inventive people who live in the country and have the materials 
and time on their hands. Here, there'd be fire trucks at the first puff of 
smoke! So for the millions of suburban gardeners who could be sequestering carbon, 
there isn't any available to sequester.

I, personally, am selfishly interested mostly in improving the soil in my own 
and my many clients gardens so that the plants do better. There IS no 
stopping global warming, LOL. It's too far gone and NO indication that anything will 
REALLY happen other than people standing around talking about it as the oil 
runs out and the water rises :-)>. 

So, I lurk and watch the posts go by. As with ANY old list or topical chat 
room, the topic itself has been talked to death and if members are fond of the 
group and like to participate, it is the natural progression to introduce 
peripheral related topics. Those are fun and often very informative in many ways. 
If I don't want to read one, I just click on by.

Best Regards to all, Peter :-)>
