Your opinion is duly noted. However, my opinion is that the O.T's aren't ruining this group at all. In fact, I rather welcome the humorous O.T's of Tom Kan Pa and others during these dark, long winter days. regards, Bill |

I used to get as offended as yourself when these discussions ensued.
Now, I've come to a different conclusion based on: point: it is just part of human nature to digress point: it is easy to avoid those topics in which one has no interest. point: I now find it rather charming that people who gather to share one interest care about and respect each other enough to share other topics that concern them. It's what makes community. "Elizabeth Brown" wrote in message ... This newsgroup is being ruined by all of the off topic threads.

Remember that gardening is a WAR, always doing battle with the elements,
pests, and other problems. and a good measure of Sh** (sorry Manure). always helps things to grow and gardening is a RACE against time, always more to do than there is time to do it in, so it is often POLITIC to let some things go As for the Etc, well that has to be the TLC that all gardeners have in varying measure, but which makes them accept almost everything that gets thrown at them.Even here. -- David Hill Abacus Nurseries www.abacus-nurseries.co.uk |

Your new thread is off topic & you are ruining this newsgroup! But seriously, any group that has 200+ on-topic threads for every one off-topic thread is at the high end of nowhere near ruined. Get a better newsreader that will give you the option to killfile threads or subjects you deplore, if you're so upset that even gardeners express opinions about other things at least occasionally. -paghat the ratgirl -- "Of what are you afraid, my child?" inquired the kindly teacher.

More important things in the world that OT in the ng's.
Betsy's reply to you was great: "I used to get as offended as yourself when these discussions ensued.

What really bothers little Lizzy is that all of the recent topics have been
over her head and she is overwhelmed by it all!!! You should all take pity on baby girl. She still needs someone to hold her hand just to cross the street!!! She'd much rather be making mud pies in her secret little garden hidden from the big bad world!!!!!! Bill Litchfield wrote in message ... "Elizabeth Brown" wrote in message ...

Go over to the RV, or Alt.Fan Tolkien NGs it NUTS over there. I don't read 10% of the ON topic post, I can skip over OT post just as well. You can never police these groups so take a pill and "GET OUT THERE AND DIG IN YOUR GARDEN!" At least until the war's over -End-o-March should do it Kevin There are three kinds of men.

Ms. Brown is right this is a NG about gardening and posts should be limited to gardening. As long as groups are not moderated you will continue to get OT Post, people who don't use Spell Check, Top Post, Use poor Grammer, Etc... Deal with it. But it's A$$holes like you that make personal attacks on people for no good reason is far worst than any OT Post and does more to break up NGs then anything else. So, I hope you have a cold wet spring and all your seeds ROT! Followed by NO rain this summer, And you are hit with a early Killing FROST! There, I feel better. and no I didn't use spell check. Kevin Some days it doesn't pay to chew through the straps! |

That's a very reasonable response.
Also, what if you see connections between gardening and some other current events. A big topic these days is people being separated from their land by big agribusiness and IMF and World Bank policies, etc. Things are more related than they appear to be on the surface. My initial perusal of the threads here suggest that most of them or not off topic (at least compared to other NGs). Betsy wrote: I used to get as offended as yourself when these discussions ensued.

I've read here and commented off and on for the last few years. It's how this group functions, so if you're going to stay you'll have to get used to it. Good gardening advice from all kinds of people. Just like I pick and choose which gardening related items interest me, I pick and choose which OT items interest me. Your mind works better than any filter, don't read the stuff that doesn't interest you. Most of the time if you read the first couple posts you can tell if it's worth your time. I'll block whole sections out as "mark as read". Carlotta |
