Hi

I am Mark, live in Norfolk, new to this Newsgroup.


Hello Mark, I'm Judith and I live in Norfolk (Sounds like Blind date!)

Welcome to urg where everyone who has an interest in gardening is made
very welcome. It doesn't matter how small or expert your knowledge
is. If, like me, you know little, there is lots to learn and amongst
us there are many experts. You will soon learn whose advice to trust
and whose to disregard because as with all groups we have a couple who
think they know it all and in an effort to be helpful, they rush in
and give bad advice. So to answer your question, don't killfile
anyone, wait and see what everyone in this group has to offer and then
make up your own mind.

However, if you lurk for a while, you will see the same names coming
up, those whose advice is to be relied upon, it becomes apparent very
quickly.

Mark, welcome to urg. I agree with Judith - wait a while before making
additions to your killfile. As a matter of interest the 'Jim Webster'
posts appearing here recently are being made by Pete using one of his
many personas. Pete is a supporter of animal rights who frequents many
newsgroups including uk.business.agriculture where he and a farmer by
the name of Jim Webster have frequent disagreements.

One thing you may wish to look at is killing crossposts as much of the
'static' on this and many newsgroups is made to multiple groups.
