Can anyone tell me what this is.........Jakell



Yes it is a picture posted to a non binary newsgroup.

Which a lot of us can't even see since our ISP removes them, so it's a
bit self -defeating.


Well, I guess if people give snotty and ill thought replies , which I guess
were meant to be *whitty*, like those in this thread ( surprises me given
the usual standard of response here - shame on you all!) then I guess you
can expect the OP to be upset.

Surely a simple, sorry this group doesnt take binary pictures and *I* cant
see it would be better.

Some of us on the other hand do not have machinery which is floorewd by
binary and do not have net nanny ISP's who remove them for us!

I could see the picture. I reckon a lot could and are afraid to say because
of the silly and in some cases downright nasty replies saying so is
likely to cause

Unfortunately I am sorry, I dont know what the plant was, it looked like a
form of wild fennel to me.
I could identify the bamboo cane, the leg ( kneee down) and the bag of
compost / irish peat? next to it.

Much better

I even got a rather snotty email from the original sender of the binary
tonight complaining about my earlier post in this thread. Says they are a
novice Usenet poster which seems obvious, also now an ignored novice.

Novices should learn by their mistakes not criticise those who point them
out?
