Richard, are you aware that the statewide organization of CRFG chapter has a forum? It has very little participation, unfortunately. It can be found at
CRFG Bulletin Board :: Index.
Many chapters of CRFG have Yahoo groups and I've joined two other chapters besides my local Sacramento chapter largely because they have active discussion groups that often end up being more valuable than the state group's forum, though most of the discussion is often around temperate fruits for the two NorCal chapters I belong to. I sometimes wish all the chapters would get together and just have their discussion groups as part of the state forum.
While I like forums better, it does seem that "groups" such as those hosted by Yahoo end up having more participation because many members sign up to get e-mails of all posts and this solicits their response whereas they forget to visit a forum much of the time.
