Well, actually, more to the point, what does one do when the regulars
become headcases ? !

Lots, recently, of those who I used to read, for interesting gardening
reading, have posted so much rubbish that now I take little notice of
their posts,,, is that my loss or theirs ? because nodoubt they still
put a lot of effort into their ontopic posts but if we are not reading
them because of their offtopic noise, what is the point all-round ?

Why am I making all these posts this morning,,, because i am waiting
for the clouds to clear in the hope of seeing the auroral activity !
(and Im bored !)

regarding advice offered and advice taken,
usenet = caveat emptor
all those wishing to police good and bad gardening advice here has a
TonyBlair syndrome and should go to a moderated forum, not usenet.
