Good lord...you are so way off it's not worth the time to respond...but I will
anyway. If you were here as long as some of us have been (many over 10 years
daily) you'd know that there are questions which have nothing to do with
experience. There are factual answers and when pointed in that direction people
like you cry and moan.

It's a matter of fact that reading the label is the MOST violated tenet of
pesticide use. That is, for many reasons, the best advice possible.

Goodbye

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.

You read it for amusement and for your own version of mean spiritedness. Don't

This newsgroup servers no purpose. I've been here for years and it

it's infested list of unhappy, miserable, snobby, whining and as you

little respect for themselves. I strictly read it for amusement now,

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.

Welcome to the Internet!
Folks say online what they would never say to the closest of friends or
enemies. When we communicate the spoken word with one another, there are
underlying rules. In cyberspace there are no rules.

Part of the problem lies in the fact we look at monitors and forget that
we are also dealing with someone on the other end who is not a monitor.

I read somewhere once, computers are power for the powerless and brains
for the brainless. The more we go forward, the more we seem to step back.

The way to change is to ignore the disrespectful and be respectful
yourself.

Don't take anything personally. It's a waste of energy to do fret over
posters apparent intent.

Am i the only one that likes newsgroups much better than web forums?
Most of my old favorite newsgroups have been degrading for years, with
most of the members heading off to different web forums.

I find web forums clunky, slow, and in most of the current ones each
thread is one single list of replies without the ability to branch out
at all.

It's too bad.

What's this, phony tough talk from a masochistic nobody that just got out of
prison?

Go back to sewing doilies on your dust ruffles, you little pansy.

Now we're getting tough talk from MC pussywhip?

Isn't this the day of the week you and that other nobody go skipping off
hand in hand hopping gay bars soliciting for the few social diseases you
still don't have?

If it wasn't for this newsgroup, the two of you would only know about
gardening what you picked up while being gang raped in prison.
