news 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. You are such a MEANY! Why can't you say something nice about us? cry cry j/k |

Bleeding Janet talks pretty tough for a school marm in a floppy hat and
tennis shoes. Turns out she's actually a champion in regional bitch slapping and tag team gossip tournaments. Everything she grows in her garden is overtly phallic: cucumbers, carrots and zucchinis!! That's why she doesn't need any friends, if you know what I mean. Whe she hoes in the garden, she really hoes in the garden!!! Nudge, nudge, wink, wink!!

Tempted to say, "don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out," but

You know, I've been back and forth with this group over the years; usually lurking, occasionally posting an answer if I have one to give. 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. KS Something I have noted are the number of "experts". Everyone's an expert these days, it seems. |

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. I beg to differ. I believe nearly all the inquiries requesting specific information or experience are answered adequately and politely (with the usual exceptions for any newsgroup). Even when a troll posts only "how do I garden?" he generally gets a few hints, or a follow-up query to clarify the situation. I see little point in writing a treatise on, say, growing tomatoes, when I can suggest a good web site on the subject. Some posters don't appear to know how to use search engines. It isn't mean-spirited to suggest how this is done. When someone posts "how much sun does XYZ plant need, and can I grow it in zone 6 (or mentions a location)?" there are *heaps* of relevent answers. Suggesting a good web site on a subject is a good thing to do, and should be just as good as answering directly. That a great starting point for a user finding information on their own. Posting a link to Google is not. It would be hard to find someone that is more experienced with search engines then I am, and even though I use google frequently there are limits to its usefulness. Some searches are easy and quickly return the exact information you need, while other searches are more difficult to do and are drowned in the noise of the Internet. Its funny, I've often seen people posting a question on a topic, not just on gardening but anything really, and one of the replies is sometimes a "do a google search, moron" reply that may actually contain a google search to use. When I follow that link I usually see the very same post I was in at the top of the list, followed by others asking the same question, with similar useless responses. The answer is often buried, if its there at all, under a long lists of search results. The point is if you do a google search, you'll probably see yourself in the mirror asking the question in this newsgroup. Swyck |
