Milkweed discussion group

[John Beaulieu]

Last fall I found an online discussion group for serious milkweed hobbyists but lost the information. I think it was with Topica, but a search through the Topica.com site did not come up with anything for milkweed. Were any Monarch Watch members on this list? Has it stopped? Does it still exist and I have the wrong address? Any help would be appreciated. It is hard to find other hobbyists that are interested in the various species of milkweed.

You're right, it was Topica - here's the list info page:

http://lists.topica.com/lists/milkweed

but trying to subscribe to via that page just leads to error messages. I was able to subscribe via email but it doesn't look like the list is active...yours was one of the last posts to the group back in September.

If you log into Topica you'll be able to see all of the lists that you are subscribed to and/or own. Just click on "My Topica" then "My Lists".

I don't know much about the owner of the list - the only interaction I've had with him was an email back in 2003 about some of our milkweed information that was plagiarized and posted on his commercial site. He thanked me for bringing it to his attention and said he would look into it but the text remains and I haven't pressed the issue. But I digress

We'd be happy to host something here - it's just a matter of getting the word out to those that would be interested in participating in the discussions.
