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.

Sorry. I left out commentators of the vacuous.

Your comments are anything but helpful or thoughtful. Are you a compost

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.

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.

That's right, we're all a bunk of roughneck cowboys with no time for

fusspots and their limp wristed garden parties. If you don't like it, we

Hey rowhouse trash, which bar can we find you in? After all you under
endowed rowhouse boys make good bottoms. (perhaps it's your life as a
bottom that makes you so bitter?)

I have to agree Kevin. I like the forum's but the way they're laid out
is frustrating. Here I can at least see headers and threads and
whatnot. If I want to see what everyone is talking about I have to
open each one and then back out to go to the next one. very time
consuming and I don't have that much time to waste flipping and
flopping about.

Go ask you mother in which bar she does all her whoring for her gambling
money, fluffboy.

I would guess this is more a problem with your news reader than the
individual forum. Try another newsreader or try one with filters.

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 is amazing, however, how many times searching with the subject
lines in quotes turns up precisely the information the poster was
apparently after. If it's spelled correctly. I admit to being baffled
sometimes with basic queries being too basic. Ex: I often recommend
searching on

plant_name cultivation

and just tried that with 'corn', which turned up a page with few of
the garden tips I had in mind. So I added 'garden' to the end of the
string, and lo, the first page contains a number of appropriate and
useful pointers.

When someone posts "how/when do I apply X?", RTFL is an appropriate
response, 'though some people reply kindly nonetheless. I just don't
reply at all. Some are more contentious. :-)

It wounded me terribly when my parents stopped cutting up my food for
me and made me learn to do it myself, but I got over it (I think). If
I tried and failed, they'd help. But I *had* to try.

As I said google is very useful as a source of information, but for
every search I've done that returned quick and useful replies, there
have been more that take a lot of work wading through the dreck, or
re-entering valid search criteria. Depending on what you're trying to
find you may have just received a long list of people that want to
sell you corn for your garden, garden raised corn for your table, and
tell corny jokes about garden hoses.

My parents, and yours probably, showed me how to do it before handing
me a sharp and dangerous implement or telling me to go look in the
knife drawer, but then maybe you're from the Spartan school of child
raising.

Everything is relative I suppose. Try a political NG for awhile and you'll
be cursing out folks after a little while.
