Many of us posted at the original Garden Web,now Houzz, but that went downhill rapidly. Some here post at both places.Some posted at idig when it was very popular, I know I did,and some posted at Dave's Garden, but when they started asking for money to post,it was bye bye from me and others as well even though they gave lifetime free memberships to Jere Gettle,Tom Wagner and myself as well. Then there were all those Pro Board sites, too many to mention,most of them gone now. And others I could mention as well, but won't.

What I miss the most here can be summed up in just one word and that word is CIVILITY.

Little groups have formed here and some seem to,or do say, they know it all. No one knows it all.

Some have said they want to grow this or that for next year,tell me if you know any of them and what you think of them .I've done that but it turns out that the person asking for input already knows what they will do. So for those, I know I don't offer suggestions anymore.

I used to really enjoy coming to Tville each day I could,but as the registered population grew and grew, and bickering started between various groups and contentious threads galore started appearing that got nasty, I for one started posting less and less as did some others and some left Tville permanently.

Sometime soon but not right away, I have to consider my own options as to what my level of participation might be here, as others have done the same.

So "we "shall see what the future might bring.

Carolyn, who also notes that she has many long time friends here from not just the US but also Canada, Mexico, Scandinavia, Denmark, England,Wales,Ireland and many many countries in Europe and in the far East as well.Also the newest MD from the health clinic in town who was here on Thursday for a home call, who can tell me all about the Grenadines,including Barbados, just north of Venezuala in South America as well as Alaska.
I agree with Carolyn very much, especially this part:

"What I miss the most here can be summed up in just one word and that word is CIVILITY.
