Thank you, I stand corrected. However the ones I read said it is best to go
with the majority. Have you ever counted the top posts as compared to the
bottom posts on this newsgroup? Even the bottom posters don't always snip
the extra information out, so it didn't accomplish what was expected by
those who prefer to bottom post.

Have fun. Dwayne

An easier way to combat cutworms is to put a toothpick or nail into
the
ground next to your plants. I understand that a cutworm has to circle
the
plant to cut it off. A nail or toothpick would prevent that. I tried
it
and it works, as long as we are dealing with cutworms.

tacky top posting duly noted

(Where does it say that a person shouldnt post on top? Is it a rule
made
up by the internet service? Could it possibly be just something that
some
like to complain about?)

Net etiquette (or 'netiquette): social rule or custom

And there are lots of netiquette pages.

Here's one (specifiac to top posting):

And the online version of the book, Netiquette:

Regarding cutworms, I find wrapping a strip of paper around the tomato
stems
will ward them off. For transplanting things like lettuce, where you have
no
actual stem to wrap, I use a 'collar' around each plant. This can be made
from
old cereal boxes, cut in strips and stapled into rings, or yogurt tubs
with the
bottom cut out, etc.
