Maureen, While folks often respond privately to e-mails emanating from the listserv, - because this is such a sheer, "what, no insurance? the sky is falling," type crisis, I've gone public, in my usual tactless fashion, to get as much information to as many people in need of it as possible.
There are 10,000 community gardens and a few hundred community garden organizations - in the spirit of the hundred monkeys in a room typing out the complete works of Shakespeare, eventually, in 25 years, I figure that one of us got it right. By sending this all points bulleting out in cyberspace, I hope that the person who did get it right e-mails us all back with the right answer.
