Well that's a start. Thanks for looking. Mine taste like a weed. Just a
plain, simple, nondescript weed. I wonder what the heck I planted and
why? Thanks again.

Judging by the tone and content of some of your recent posts, I suspect
Jimson Weed.

Or maybe it's just something else.

Hey, Charlie. How bouts a cold one?
I thought you would have understood. I mean, what are these NGs
(rec.gardens and rec.gardens.edible) all about? I presume that they are
about sharing information. Some of us are very knowledgeable about some
areas of this subject and the very same people may have gaping black
holes of ignorance in other areas. If you need information to make a
decision, you need all the information you can get, ifn you want to make
a good decision.

Now this guy, Michael, posts a request for ideas about what to plant in
a limited area, that will be about 15' in height and have a spread of
10' to 15'. He muses on the idea of a dogwood. Sheldon responds that he
just bought one. Joe observers that the mature is too large for the
area, how close are foundations, and suggests seeing a local nursery for
information. Michael agrees with Joe's assesment of planting a dogwood.
Sheldon responds with sarcasm and name calling. You with me so far, good
buddy?

Now there seems to be enough room in this NG for everyone to have input
but I don't see any room for posters who try to limit information. To
regular posters to these NGs, we are familiar the most of personalities
involved and can take their advice with a grain of salt. To someone just
stopping by the NG for a quick fix, they may be influenced by another
posters condesention. Limiting is not our business.

Three times I have asked Sheldon to support his contention that Joe
knows nothing and three times he avoided the opportunity. Yes, I mocked
him. I satirized him and, I defecated his character BUT I drew the
reasoning from his own statements.

Do you call people douche bags and by extension, "He throws like a girl"
and, "What a pu**y?". I don't have time for those knuckle draggers and I
hate to see them in my face. Lest anyone think that I am now
participating in the same name calling as Sheldon, let me point out the
"knuckle dragger" is a euphemism for primitive, in this case culturally.

We already have a president that doesn't think that we need evidence for
a judgement, there isn't much I can do about that but with Sheldon, it's
a different matter. I'll leave him alone now, at least, until he starts
making more accusations that he can't support.

That was a nice report you had on European organic production. You have
a URL for that?

Dang, out of suds. That was a dry one. I'm still thirsty.

bis bald,
