Sorry to see you go Wildie :(

It's too bad you've decided to leave because we could have all gained from your experiences and this particular forum is filled with very nice and well informed gardeners.

I think the problems on Gardenweb are temporary and should be resolved soon. I can't imagine why they would have sold your email address and started spamming you. It certainly didn't happen to me and I've had all kinds of problems that still need resolution. You should remove your email address from your page description. GW is a public forum and anybody can come in and spider the site for email addresses without their knowledge.

Make sure when you edit your personal information that you do not have the boxes checked where it says....

*Yes, please send me special offers, promotions, coupons, and free samples from Gardenweb and its sponsors.
*I would like to receive monthly email messages listing garden-related events in my area, garden-related merchant specials and related topics.
No, you don't want this, so don't check them!

And make sure you fill out the Opt Out form below.
