And no excuse for poor netiquette.


I use Turnpike Stan and that allows me to see which posts are being sent
in reply to which postings so if the thread goes off topic on one line I
can usually see if anyone posts in direct reply to the original enquiry
rather than responding to the off topic bits.
I don't know if OE can do this, but it is certainly useful in picking
out the main points and saves me time sometimes.

Sometimes I'm afraid I rather enjoy the discussion, off topic doesn't
necessarily mean NOT about gardening

I use this group as I would a social chat, if the discussion becomes
over my head or about something else entirely I drift away and look for
better topics
