You're all answering a well known and long term troll. Why fall for it?
Stop, read, think! Do you *really* think that gardeners on a seriously
involved gardening group fall for this garbage? Some members of urg have
be gardening for 50 years, or more.

Do you know everybody here? I don't think Mike talks garbage at all.
The way he has started the thread is perhaps a bit blunt, for use of a
better word, but the issue is something to think about. It is someting
we are all talking about at the moment. In the real world that is. Do
you now dictate who we should talk to and who we should read or for
that matter shouldn't? On what authority do you control a usenet
group?

This person is not contributing to the
sum of urg's knowledge.
He sucks in new responses by this form of post and by his own admission he
knows nothing about gardening. Please do not encourage this person.

You have known Mike for years - some of us haven't. So far I have seen
a man who is in constant querel with you - the reasons are numerous
but that doesn't mean he is a troll. This means that he is holding you
on a lot of issues. Basically you have issues with this man, issues
with many other people in here and I would suggest you stop dictating
others what they should or shouldn't do. People are quite capable of
making their own judgements. By pointing the fingers at people you
don't approve, for reasons only known to you, you are disrupting
people abilities to think for themselves, doubt many, killfile on the
basis that indeed he/she must be a troll because you don't like them.

Really you ought to chill out.
