Here is one of cold hardy boards. (http://members3.boardhost.com/HardyPalm/msg/1361543444.html) If you have been on PT a number of years like I have, and spend enough time on these other cold hardy palm forums, you will see many people who have come and gone on PT. Some even still come around on PT occaisionally, but post 10 to 1 with the 10 being on other boards and the 1 post on PT. I think this is a shame and wish we could keep more of these folks on PT, or drive new ones here as well. The shame is, if you are in a cold hardy area and want to talk to others about cold hardy issues, these other places are more desirable for that purpose. Let's face it, if you post your pride and joy Queen palm or W. robusta on PT, it is not likely to generate much conversation and follow-up post. Even worse, occaisionally, you are likely to get a snide remark about what a "common" palm, it. It has happened to me more than once and I have seen it happen to others. They just quit posting and next time you run across them they are posting away and getting lots of interaction on boards like the above.
PT is a great resource for information and interaction for zone 9b and higher zones. I wish it was that for all zones.
And on the lighter side, I did not land you on that Hardy Palm and Subtropical Board by accident. Hard to believe that scene is in Canada in the winter. Shame I didn't see that first on Cold Hardy forum on PT.
