I think you owe the OP an apology. He posted on Saturday (6th) asking
what "wounded" meant. Charlie replied on Sunday. The OP replied early
today with "...and the first cuttings went in on Friday, and they are
still alive. Lacking advice on what "wounded" meant, I simply dipped the

ends into rooting powder". So he had already made his first cuttings on

Friday, before he asked what "wounded" meant.

Besides which, his post re rooting powder was at 8.14 and Charlie's
reply on wounding wasn't posted until 8.32.

The post I replied to was sent 08/07/2013 08:14
Charlies posting was sent 07/07/2013 08:23
A day after Charlkies post so no excuse for not acknowledging Charlies
reply to his question.

You don't know how Usenet works. Each server will get them in a
different order, and there are often delays of days. There are
also problems with posts not appearing, and old posts reappearing,
but they are different. Even when all goes well, delays of a few
days are normal.
