> Dear All,
>
> Once again I'm crossposting this message and I apologize to those who

>
> Thanks to all who have taken time to comment.  APHIS heard the
> requests for a time extension and has granted one.
>
> The comment period has been extended until April 11, 2005.
>
> This may be the single most important issue the gardening community
> ever has to face; the proposed regulations will affect gardeners in
> every country.  Since there is no central organization to speak for
> horticulture, it is important that we do not ignore this opportunity,
> thinking someone else will take care of it.  There is no someone
> else; we are it.
>
> While comments have been coming in on the docket site, I hope more of
> you will make the time to take advantage of this extension and send
> in your comments.  APHIS will respond to your concerns if they are
> stated in a civil manner; clear reasoning supported by personal
> experience is especially helpful; rants of frustration with past or
> present are not.
>
> It would also be very helpful if you are able to get the word out to
> smaller nurseries and growers who are either not online; not on the
> mailing lists or too busy keeping their heads above water to keep up
> with regulatory issues.  These regulations will affect them directly
> and they need to know about them so that they are able express their
> needs and concerns to APHIS.
>
> Unfortunately, one cannot create a direct link to the actual

> page.
