Dear Mr. David Hill,

Are you being pedantic and does it matter ?

Do you have any input on the subject in question instead of acting like a
silly five year old ?

You have cross posted to 3 groups, choosing a scatter-gun effect to satisfy
your wants, rather than having the patience and manners to do a little
research into the groups first. Cross-posting is a drag and a curse to many
and to describe someone you don't know in a group you don't know as
'pedantic' because your own bad manners are pointed out to you is the
behaviour not of a 5 year old but a brattish 3 year old with a wet nappy,
IMO.

David Hill is a long-term member of uk.rec.gardening and like many of us,
objects to the poor behaviour of people who don't care about messing up
other peoples' reading/source of information/enjoyment. If you want useful
and sensible answers to a legitimate question it's a good idea to see what
the main interest of a group is by *reading* it for a few days before
jumping in feet first and expecting everything to revolve around you.
