Amen, Brad. I was already looking for the PBS unsubscribe page myself but then Roy Herald posted that spectacular photo of his flowering Massonia plant just before I could unsubscribe. For me, posts like that one reminded me of why I joined. Besides, any topic or message, including this one, that anyone thinks is self-indulgent or insulting drivel can easily be ignored and deleted. As you mentioned, there are have been plenty of those recently but I strongly urge you to hold out for the good stuff. Those are the unexpected topics worth waiting for. If you are not convinced, and still decide to unsubscribe from this listserv, I suggest you ask Dell (the person who masterfully handles the seed and bulb exchanges) to email the BX announcements directly to you. That way you won't have to rely on this listserv to find out about them. As you might expect, there are usually many more BX announcements late in the summer through autumn than now.
