chelated iron - haven't got any
You make some good points. My point is when a person asks even a simple
question and somebody answers it, everybody learns from it. The thought of making square watermelon or veggies with faces on never crossed my mind, but having somebody ask about them and the sharing of knowledge I learned about it even though the info is on the net. I have been reading this group for over 3 years, I hardly ever post, but I learned a lot from just reading it. I never would have known about different kinds of tomatoes, peppers, ect.. without somebody asking about them. Yes if I wanted to know what kind of tomato tasted the best I could do a google search...but it never crossed my mind, nor did I think I needed to know this. But reading the group when somebody would ask a question like this I learned what people think is the best. Another note when people ask "dumb" or "lazy" questions it usually starts a nice thread when the subject actually changes into something different, thus more to learn. If your neighbor stops by and says he wants to know what the best tasting tomato is and you know he has a T1 line and is on the net 20 hrs out of the day, would you flame him or would you have an intelligent conversation with him and brag about the luck you had with a certain kind ? Just treat people like you would in real life. Another note say maybe only a few people responded to a question a few years ago and their information is outdated or even wrong, should they go by that and maybe harm themselves just because they aren't allowed to ask a question that was answered before.

I said I didn't know what "hydroponic supply store" was in Japanese, and he said not to ask about elementary stuff. Obviously this question is very difficult for everyone to answer, so I think Bill was being ironic. I think he really meant "don't ask this kind of difficult question to me". I normally try to be nice to posters even if they ask inane questions. On the other hand, when it seems that someone asks for help without making the slightest effort to learn but expect others to do their leg work for them, I do tend not to suffer them gladly. I do realize, however, that sometimes their effort is not well expressed by their words. I apologize for those lapses in my decorum. Problems like that tend to show up in scientific newsgroups. Students sometimes ask for solutions to their homework without any effort on their own behalf. Such posts greatly irritate me, and my replies cannot hid my frustration with them. I also get irritated when someone expects specific answer they can look up as well as the people they are asking. For this group such a question may be: how much nitrogen is there in ammonium sulfate? Even if you do not have enough chemical knowledge to do that for yourself, it is something easily looked up in a gardening book that covers fertilizers. Bill |
