Perhaps all the chatty and inquisitive SoG members who are also Goons use
their List instead, whereas the non-Goons are beavering away alone in the
SoG library!

I did notice that the last time the SoG List sprung into action was on a
topic also introduced on the Goons List, where the subject lasted longer.
Maybe the SoG List needs to appoint someone to introduce subjects for
discussion when it becomes quiet, so we don't forget that it exists.

My son in Florida has just emailed photos of his new family with masses of
pumpkins for Halloween, yet when my children were small we didn't do
anything to celebrate/commemorate this day, so is it an American thing? when
and where did it originate? In the background of the photos is a tree? with
Christmas crackers on it, most peculiar.
