Personal attacks and rudeness have no value and very little place on a gardening forum. That you cannot enter into a civilized discourse without them says a lot about you and the confidence you have in your opinions. It was with the facts. Really. The facts according whom? What you did was take information out of context and blow it up out of proportion to the specific question. No one was disputing that soil organisms can have an influence on soil pH but it is relatively minor in the grand scheme of things. Other factors have a far greater influence. And they typically react to existing conditions rather than creating their own. The facts are that plants do not create soil chemistry or even alter it to any significant degree - it is what it is independent of them. Lord knows I've been on the dirty end of the stick enough time but each time I learned from it (I think I have, anyway) and moved on. There are many posters here asking for help, especially at this time of the year, and your knowledge and experience can greatly benefit all of us. Speaking for myself, I hope that you'll continue to post in the "wrecked gardens". I have no intention of being run off by the likes of you. I am extremely secure in my education and my knowledge - I've been in the horticultural industry for a long time - and I will offer advice and suggestions to the best of my ability to those whom I think can benefit from it. Excellent, please stay. One does need mental callouses here and in life general. Take and give what you want and ignore the rest. If some one hands out a personal attack - just smile and move on. I, like many others here have enjoyed a good slam at others also. Smile and Enjoy Life. I have found this newsgroup has many well educated university degreed individuals. A most useful newsgroup. Enjoy Life ... Dan Dan, While I agree with you that there are still some very knowledgeable people that post, there are MANY of us that post a lot less (or not at all) because of all the "noise" here. Not only is all the off topic stuff distracting the name calling (and worse) is good reason to abandon these newsgroups. There are many moderated garden boards where the people are civil (or else) and that is where a lot of us have gone. -- Bill R.
