ScrOG-O-RAMA
Last Updated: 11/25/98


Readmefirst

In the scrogorama.zip file is a text file named threads.txt.  This is
a gathering of 130+ threaded posts on the ScrOG technique when it
was first introduced to growers on the Internet in 1997.  The
threads were taken from posts made to the alt.drugs.pot.cultivation
(adpc) news group on Usenet.

The entire file is in the Unix mail format.  It can be read with
any text editor, but I *highly* recommend the following.  If your
mail or news reader program can import files in the Unix mail format,
then import this text file into an empty folder (if you can create
one).  Doing so will give you all the posts and replies threaded in
the order they originally appeared in adpc (if sorted by date).
It will be just like reading the NG posts, only you can do it with
your mail or news program, offline.

I can't vouch for all mail/news readers, but I will vouch for Agent
because I use it, and tried it.  It works great.  To get it to
work with Netscape 3.01 I had to copy the threads.txt file to the
Netscape Mail folder with the filename threads (no .txt at the end).
When Netscape's Mail window is then opened it will display a "threads"
folder with the posts in it.  All but one post seems to come out
threaded properly.

One post is not a NG post, but rather more of a brief readme message.
The name of the Subject line is "ScrOG-O-RAMA - Some Q&A's and Misc
Info".  Its date, author, and title were written in such a way as to
bring it to the top of the list, but this may not always be the case
depending on your sorting.

I didn't edit anything except for removing some headers, and a
couple entire replies that had no ScrOG info.  All other replies were
left alone, so some may contain partial off topic text.  Also some
may repeat text found in other posts so be aware that if something
you're reading sounds familiar it might be worth skipping.  Over time
I may delete some redundant quoted text to make for easier reading.

As it stands many subject lines simply say something to the order of
"ScrOG question", so it's difficult to know what questions which thread
answers.  I will also modify some of these original subject lines as
time goes by to be more descriptive of the content of the thread.
Where you see ** text ** enclosed in double asterisks it's my indicator
of some topics that will be found in that thread or message.

"From:" headers were untouched to maintain the mail header format.
The original posters email address will appear as they did in the
original post to adpc, my apologies if this offends anyone.  Let
me know if it does and I'll try to edit out your address for future
posts.  Also my apologies to those from whose posts I may snip redundant
text, sigs, or modify the subject line in order to make for an easier
to read ScrOG-O-RAMA.

I think this gathering of info answers most questions regarding ScrOG.
Future threads will be added if new questions arise in them.  I may
add individual Q&As not from posts too.
