This notice is not unusal. I've gotten one every year to remind me its time to renew. I emailed them and told them exactly why I wasn't going to renew.
Course I got some lame reply from Terry.
I will miss DG too but I really don't have the time to post on forums that much anyway so I have to narrow it down to a select few and Cubits is now my gardening forum to go to.
I like The Garden Web but the download time and pop ups are ridiculous.
