then you don't understand usenet.


I agree. There is a great deal I do not understand.

I offer information on the treatment of the system (tree). As long as the
issues I present remain troubles for trees, then my message is the same.

Why should I change?


you are placing the answer in front of the question.
which is likened unto top posting a reply.

OK - What is usent?


usenet

usenet is composed of over 100,000 individual news
groups where different topics of interest are discussed.
for example, one might ask about a problem with their tree
and another might have useful knowledge concerning the
specific problem being ASKED about. or usenet is often a
source of great entertainment where one might read about some
sissy buying a lawnmower from sears.

usenet is a place where your question will be seen by anyone
who has subscribed to the news groups your post was posted into
and therefore you should understand how it is not one specific
person you are talking to but rather an entire group of persons.



I was called "spam". Do you mean that someone presenting educational
information specifically relative to the topic of the post "spam" while the
problems do not change, the questions are the same, the problems are the
same?


you were called 'spam' because you tossed out information which
had not been requested. the op [original poster] asked
"Do you know of any interesting gardening sites".
they did not ask for tree dictionary. if the op had asked about
forestry then maybe you'd not been labeled as 'spam'.

now I do wonder if you are actually going to see this post.
most are never observant enough to even look at the setting
of the follow-up.






Got to go.
