I'm ignorant of. *But please, please, PLEASE can we agree to ignore the
snipes? *Not necessarily the snipers - some of whom have useful things
to say occasionally, and I don't like kill-filing anyone - but those
snide one-liners that don't contribute anything except a sour note. *If
we all just agreed to ignore them, perhaps they would stop? These
remarks don't have anything to do with gardening, and just take up
brainspace and bandwidth that would be much better employed working out
how to outwit garden pests, as opposed to usenet pests.

Apologies for rant. *It's just getting a bit much lately.

Most of us don't make snide comments Kate and also we don't retaliate
much either. Every now and again, someone goes too far and they get a
reply to behave but generally urglers are nice, good people. I will
not retort to any snide comments to me; so rest easy.
