I also agree with SOFA. I like the mix here though. Another list I'm on allows almost no vine activity whatsoever on list. Strictly just a discussion list with the occasional mention to contact someone off list if interested in a vine offer. There is actually a fair amount of vine activity

Hear hear! Must agree with SOFA where he talks about signal versus noise when it comes to FZ discussion. At the same time - and I say this in my capacity of KUR forum moderator - there is a risk in the vine/weed talk in that it tends to shut down any other discussion about FZ. I've seen it happ
