But this year I see the group has become pretty meanspirited.
Everyone directs inquirers to other sources, never giving their
experience, thoughts or whatever, and now including a few snipes like
read the label, look it up, do it yourself, etc. etc. etc.

This sure isn't the group it used to be.

What happened to the friendly people that used to be here? Have they
been driven away?

Yes, I'm out of here.

This is a SWEET newsgroup & everyone is KIND to each other, you monkey's rump.

Ken,
I wouldnt leave but I agree with what you are saying. I post a message and
someone posts a google link to the search engine. Yes, I know as much about
searches as the next person, maybe more, I just like hands-on advice
sometimes. Otherwise, whats the use for a newsgroup to start with?

Please hang out a while longer.

YES! YES! WE ARE KIND TO EACH OTHER!!!!!!! WE NEVER CRITICIZE OTHERS FOR
OPINIONS THAT DIFFER FROM OURS! WE ARE TOLERANT OF EVERYONE'S POINT OF
VIEW AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT YOU CAN JUST GET THE @#$%^&* OUT!!!!!

You are such an immature cry baby, Ken.

One would think that someone like you that claims to have been on the
internet for years would have at least learned the very basics of how the
great machine works and how to use it long ago. Sadly, you claim to be far
too helpless to click on the help icon for "you know what". (Maybe you still
don't know what is what?)

If you are such a clueless twit that you still can't do anything for
yourself, why don't you see if you can get yourself a nanny who can pick up
after you, help you cross the street and hold your little nub when you got
to pee? Obviously, you have neither the savvy nor strength to even consider
doing anything as strenuous as gardening.

On you way out, don't let the the window hit you where the good lord split
ya!!! Bye bye, GOMER.

This newsgroup servers no purpose. I've been here for years and it
has and continues to downgrade. There is no use for this group, nor
it's infested list of unhappy, miserable, snobby, whining and as you
put it mean-spirited people. They have no respect for others, and
little respect for themselves. I strictly read it for amusement now,
when I can find the time to drop by, and need a laugh.

That is what happens when people feed the trolls. It is best to ignore
them, then they go away. They are just searching for attention. They
hate being ignored.
