Clarice, I hope you will be able to get some good advice from elsewhere
but our resident troll the irritant Flea, has started posting again -
she disrupts us all from time to time, most people kill file her but in
general she is ignored. As you could see from her posting she says I
was wrong to advise on pruning Apple trees in the Autumn. Of course
one prunes them in Autumn but she does not realise that my advice to
prune Damson in the Spring is for Damsons and not for apples.

Stay around a while and you will soon realise who the experts are here,
I, certainly, am not one, but then I never pretend otherwise.

I just un-kill filed it to see the full thread. The usual unpleasant stuff
from puce---including the obligatory threats. I felt I had to make a comment
so that you realise you are not alone.

For the record. I am here to talk about gardening, and am utterly
unimpressed with two (for it does take two) supposedly adult people who
cannot have a difference of opinion without resorting to bitchy retorts
a 5-year old would find childish, and are patently devoid of the most
basic humility required to recognise when they get it wrong.
To me, this reflects equally poorly on both protagonists, and has
certainly influenced me in deciding whose comments to read, and whose
to ignore.
I felt I had to make this comment just so silence is not assimilated to
support for one or other equally unimpressive party.
FWIW
