I'm a little surprised at the stalwarts of this group that none can help
with a request for advice on black spot which is a legitimate and
reasonable request for information to a gardening group. While you
stalwarts in the same time frame discuss " smoked bacon??" ad nauseum.
Wow, get with it please and think about helping your up and coming
gardeners.

Unfortunately requests for information are often unanswered in Usenet. You
cannot demand answers. Usenet is not a paid for service.


It's always possible to google for the answer.

Yes but as a contributor to the group do you really think that i.e
"They are easy to make. I'm surprised more people don't make their own.
I started with a Tasty Sausage Maker advertised in Private Eye and moved
on to using a sausage making attachment on the Kenwood Chef."
is an useful contribution to uk.rec.gardening.I'm inclined to suggest
that if you want to chat to your friends about OT topics why not email
them and enjoy your intercourse that way.
