On my page here on Garden Web, there are choices. One of them is "Send me an email". One can opt out or in re the email.

See my Clippings See my Journal See my trade list Send me an email.

I've opted out of the email, but I've checked and some posters have opted to accept email. I don't know if they get the email or if they don't want to answer.

I think it's just a matter of sometimes they do and sometimes they don't..and you never know when that's going to happen.

It might also be that if they are longtime GW'ers, that they've stopped using the email that they originally signed up with. lol I know that I personally have NO IDEA which email account my emails from here might go to. It's probably the Yahoo! one that I now only check once or a twice a year or so... it gets so much junk sent to it, that I stopped checking it regularly YEARS ago.

I get emails sent from the GW....but don't answer if I don't want to....

I get emails from the GW all the time.
I appreciate them.
It is a different account and sometimes a day or two will pass
before I have a chance to check it and send an answer.
