I am mainly a lurker on this NG. However, I have noticed that there
are
always
more posting about topics with only a vague relationship with
gardening.
Many
of these posts are to complain that there is not enough gardening!!
This
topic
started of by an innocent post from somebody who was starting an AT
fan
club,
an look at the furore it has generated. Don't ell me about those
wonderful,
caring, understanding gardening folk.

AT and all the others should take solace in the saying that goes
something
like
'disgree, criticise, etc but what you do, don't ignore me!'. Or
perhaps
'all
publicity is good publicity'.

Well, it's good to have you Peter. I"m that someone that started a fan
club. I have gotten slammed quite heavily by some posters here, but I
have
also received very warm welcomes from A LOT of others. My opinions
may
not
be mainstream, but that's ok. I don't mind if everyone else is
mis-informed
;o) LOL, just kidding!!!

Thanks a bunch -
Trai

Hi Trai

I wish you every success. I am not particularly an AT fan but I support
fully
those who are, and equally those who are not. Provided nobody tries to
force
their opinions on me I don't really care. My local public house (to
reopen
soon) is called the Live and Let Live. A good motto I think.

Peter Bridge

Yes it is, Peter, yes it is. May I ask why you a question? What is it
that
people don't like about him? Alan, that is?

Just curious,

trai


I find him "slimey"... I always feel as if he's hiding something (a dark
secret or hobby perhaps)... he's short and fat... I don't like his voice
(and I don't mean accent)... He's probably a great and genuine guy but he
does nothing for me.
