Grr.  Typical Gomberg answer, "I will do it MY way, not YOUR way."  Did I
not say "we don't usually solicit for the plant auction"? Anyway, if
somebody else wants to send Gomberg a special solicitation for Planted
Aquaria Magazine in December, be my guest.  I ain't doin it.

PS: Website updated with next month's speaker (Kathy).  Main computer is
down again for a few weeks while motherboard gets "reworked", and only
article for newsletter is 1-page Alan Mearns thing, so we will probably
have postcards again this month.
