Boggle. What if they have tattoos, rigger boots, and also twinset and
pearls? I understand what you're trying to say, but speaking personally I
couldn't care less what people on this group or any other look like. They
could have two heads for all I care. The most important thing to me is the
quality of their gardening advice and their reaction to others.

Absolutely ,Sally, you have hit the nail on the head - it's the quality
of their gardening advice and their reaction to others, not their
nationality or their age, status or class, I'm grateful for any
gardening advice, from whatever source, so long as it is accurate


And I have to say that goes for other NGs as well. I subscribe to a few
technical groups. I discovered by chance once that someone who gives
consistently good, mature advice was in fact under 20. It was the maturity
and the quality of the advice that shone through, not his age - because I
didn't know it, didn't care and what's more important (to me) _he_ didn't
show it by his responses.
