I am hearing good things about having snails in your pond.

Is this the first real pond post in days? I filter out all posts that _don't_ have the word "pond" in their subject. How many am I missing?

I gave up keeping a killfile for this group long ago, the last couple of days there have been hundreds of messages that got filtered down to zero for not containing the word pond in their subject.

There have been a lot of on-topic postings over the last few days but most don't have the word "pond" in the subject. The background noise is quietening down although not gone completely. Try looking at the recent stuff (this month) and filter out the off-topic stuff...
