Default GardenWeb?

Sorry, I am not sure what a firewall is. I do know that if he bans you from
using his site, any time you try to post , you will be sent to www.Disney.com.

Spike is not running a moderated group. He is like a dictator. Even though
you follow the rules he posts, if he does not agree with what you said he will
no longer let you post.

I obey the rules of moderated groups as it should be. But when someone only
lets the opinions to be posted of those he agress with, it goes to
dictatorship.

When I complained to sponsors of his group about Spikes behavior I received
many sympathic replies. One person who paid him to advertise said he was even
banned from posting after he made Spike mad. There are a lot of people who do
not like him.

As for nice seed trading news groups, there are many out there, two of which I
listed that are excellent. No game playing with them.

As for this orginal post, I see similar ones like this on newsgroups. the
writing style is often the same. I feel that Spike often is putting posts out
there like this to advertise his site.
As I said previously there are too many good moderated forums out there to put
up with the stuff Spike dishes out.

Can that still happen if you have a fire wall?

Try
www.Gardenguides.com or www.seedswappers.org. Garden Web stinks. It
is owned
by one guy and even though you follow his rules, if you post something he

doesn't
like , he will never let you post again, by using the cookies on your

computer, he
sends you to a to a Disney site instead.
Just my 2 cents.........
