receives such attention while a another thread asking for advice on a
gardening question goes un-noticed?
Maybe it didn't appear, or nobody knew the answer. This is a
discussion group, not an advice bureau.
This is a true statement according to the grop's charter however where
does
askin for advice and a discussion on the subect start and finish. Just
to
make my point on the question of this being a discussion group not an
advice
bureau , consider the number of questions that have been asked and
"duscussed" since the beining of this mont.
I list six - and there are more,........all questions!
"Opening Kilner jars"
"Potatoes"
"Fishtail" Camelia"
"Aristea"
"Carrots"
"Gay" feather"
And your point is what exactly?
I shouldn't have to explain this if you'd been following the postings .
Before you and one other tries to patronise me further just just get off
your high horse before you fall off.
It did appear
The fact it appeared on YOUR screen does not guarantee, it propagated
round all our servers to all our newsreaders. Posts very often get lost
; which is why we suggest that if there's no response, the sender should
repost it.
I'm sure more that I use IE for bowser. The question to which I
referred
was responded to but without a semblance of an answer., thefore it did
appear.
If you post the message ID of the missing/ignored post then it can be
checked. There are no guarantees that Usenet message propogates OK, and
network timing at different servers can result in two or more people
making essentially the same reply being unaware of the other.
For the record - if I have information that I consider helpful to
someone, I
dont hesitate to offer any
assistance I can.
Fair enough, but if no-one has seen this mythical post of yours then it
stands no chance of being answered.
BTW who ever said it was my post, it was in fact mine,
and it is very strange that everything else I've posted has appeared, and
been responded to withonsiderable vehemence - why? I don't know.
I asked a quite ordinary question which had pne rather odd reply but no
more. Subsequesnt postings have generated a lot of heat more through
quessing than fact.
