Potassium in the vicinity of potatoes.
E Pfeiffer, _Soil fertility, renewal & preservation: bio-dynamic
farming and gardening_: Brehmer reports that potassium in the vicinity of potatoes --- separated by an air space from the containers in which the plants are growing --- was able to increase the growth and the potassium content of the potatoes. Stoklasa shows that potassium (in sealed test-tubes hung over growing plants) alters the rate of growth of the plants. We should like to add that we have been able to make this experiment, the validity of which we are able to confirm by having obtained corresponding results. Ried shows that the presence of potassium and other salts in the vicinity of animals can have a far-reaching influence on their growth and above all on their reproduction. And there are numberless experiments which demonstrate the influence of irradiated and non-irradiated metals, in their effects at a distance upon the development of bacteria cultures. Has anyone tried this recently? -- A: Maybe because some people are too annoyed by top-posting. Q: Why do I not get an answer to my question(s)? A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? |

Hi All, The reason that people top post is because all the excess dross is not sniped. This means you have to wade through the whole post to get to the point. Hope this helps you. Richard M.

[snipes]
No cluons were harmed when R M. Watkin wrote: The reason that people top post is because all the excess dross is not sniped. This is simply not true. Some of us always snipe at the excess dross. Others, like me, snipe at dross even when it is not in excess. Many people snipe simply to be sniping. I don't know how many snipers actually own the requisite sniper rifles, so I won't hazard a guess, but there are probably enough to trim down the number of top posters and dross posters. This means you have to wade through the whole post to get to the point. Hope this helps you. What if the whole post only comes up to your ankles? Is this still wading? Or does the post have to come up to your waist to be considered as wading? What if the post is so noxious as to dissolve reinforced concrete - does top posting matter if you refuse to wade in at all? As for help, I would hope someone would throw me a line and pull me out if I waded in too deeply and found myself unable to make my way back to the firm solidity of Terra Usenetta. If that person used the line to drag me under, however, it might be funny, but would not be very helpful... Mark Edwards -- Proof of Sanity Forged Upon Request |

The reason that people top post is because they are too damn lazy to snip the irrevelant portions of the message to which they are responding. This means you have to wade through the whole post to get to the point. This does not happen when posters follow net etiquette. Hope this helps you. Not really! What would really help is a psychiatric study identifying the various other social disfunctionalities associated with people who top-post to newsgroups. Dick |

I mean, I enjoy a good donnybrook as well as the next person but maybe we could just snip the "diss" out of disfunctional, pull up our socks, and get on with the gardening.
