There are those on this newsgroup who 'claim' to use the kill file facility.
Might I respectfully suggest that if you are so paranoid about my postings,
that you actually "USE" said facility?

I feel sure that

help you with your understanding and tolerance of other human beings.

Kindest possible regards

I feel you have missed the point, 'Mike'.

Consider this newsgroup to be a garden path, and that something
unpleasant has been left in the middle of it by an animal. The proper
solution is to remove the obstruction, rather than to expect everyone
to walk on the garden to avoid it.

As Fuschia pointed out, there are a number of people who are tired of
your continual self-promotion and diversions from real gardening
discussions. I include myself in that number.

Far be it for me to defend Mike, but this time the subject was gardens
in Madeira,
and it has given rise to Charlie's answer listing other gardens and
their location.
Had he been extolling the virtues of cruses then it would have been
right off topic.
I consider the way that most cruses are structured the participants
are just a glorified bunch of day trippers.
But then the real thing is the on-board life, and not the brief
stops .
