When you have an internet connection why can you not check your most
basic facts?

They do it expressly to annoy you, of course. Since you have an internet
connection, you have the opportunity to learn how people in amiable
groups
like this one usually talk to one another. Check it out: the skill is
transferable, and could pay dividends in your non-Usenet life.

As it happens this is the only usenet group where I have actually found
any
rude people.

You know, I didn't find your earlier ignoring of the context of my words
in order to post a faux correction to be the epitome of politeness.

As for your earlier question, there's a relevant quotation from Mark
Twain, that goes, roughly, it's not what you don't know that's the
problem, it's what you know that ain't so.

Hi Stewart,

On the contrary on the first part (sorry but over my head on the second), I
wasn't intending any 'correction' of your comments: which have all been
interesting and knowledgeable. If you are the BSBI member I take you to
be, you will be as aware of the reporting of finds from gardens as I am.
Others, happening across this group as I did, might not be aware of the
possibility of finding an important 'weed' in their garden though, so I just
took the opportunity of giving them a plug.

As I have been housebound and rather out of any sort of surveying - other
than of the bugs and weeds that turn up indoors - lately (particularly
galling in what appears to be an excellent fungi season) I have been missing
out on BSBI - and even the local BNA, news, so your input here has been
appreciated.

Regards,
S
