The message
from "JennyC" contains these words:

Tell me, do you religiously keep a logfile of how often people post and
whether they are 'right' according to you?


No need; I have a brain. Any longterm urgler will surely
automatically register they are reading a longterm regular poster, a
longterm infrequent poster, someone completely new to the group, a
total beginner, or someone whose longterm performance here proves
their expertise (like David Poole).

If your memory doesn't, or can't , do that, bad luck. Maybe it never
learned how because you don't exercise your brain much with reading for
entertainment, information or retention. But from how other posters
perform here, I'd say most of them do, and you're in a minority.

If you knew more about gardening, and were attentive, and had a memory
better than a seive, then over an extended period you would notice
whether some familiar name (such as Echinosum) tends to post accurate
garden and plant information which can be relied on. You would notice if
another regular poster is clearly out of their depth, regularly posts
wrong facts and refuses to admit they were wrong when the indisputable
error of fact is pointed out .

As to whether facts are wrong or right "according to me", you're
making a fool of yourself. I don't decide the right and wrong of such
issues as plant structure, origin, habit. Or historical dates, or
whether planthunter David's name was Peter or Armand.Those are a simple
matter of recorded fact.

I know you were an early drop out from education, but at your age I'd
expect you to have compensated for that by sheer life experience. It's
astonishing that you are apparently blindingly unaware of how others
constantly, automatically collect and filter simple information. What a
huge chunk of life must have passed you by, without you even noticing.
