BUT, what you use depends largely upon what your existing soil conditions are. -- David J. Bockman, Fairfax, VA (USDA Hardiness Zone 7) email: http://beyondgardening.com/Albums |

Here is the link for more info product url deleted. Hope that help -- northwest_man It's interesting that both the original poster and this helpful shill are posting from the same IP address. I had a feeling that the original message was just a set-up, but I did expect the shill to come back sooner to answer his own question with his spam. I have no idea of what his product is or does, but as a general rule, products advertised by this method are snake oil. Legitimate products are not advertised by this deceitful method. Therefore, since this method of advertising was chosen for this product, then it must be snake oil. -- Warren H. ========== Disclaimer: My views reflect those of myself, and not my employer, my friends, nor (as she often tells me) my wife.

I wondered about the use of the word "amendment" with no further details in both the original post and the site referenced. Neither gave any specifics as to what soil property needs to be amended. However, I did not add 2 and 2 and check IP addresses as you did. High probablility of useless stuff being foisted onto the unsuspecting. John |

Thye're posting from gardenbanter, a UK website for lamebrains which acts as a portal to usenet groups. All members posts to usenet, carry the website's from-address. Yes. And they also carry the original poster's IP address as well. -- Warren H. ========== Disclaimer: My views reflect those of myself, and not my employer, my friends, nor (as she often tells me) my wife.

I had a feeling that the original message was just a set-up, but I did expect the shill to come back sooner to answer his own question with his spam. gardenbanter posters don't have a clue they're posting to a newsgroup, and don't understand threads or reply editing. They can very seldom find the same thread to read the answers to their own questions, let alone make a second post to the same thread. Conversations with them do tend to be very short and one- sided :-) Janet (UK). Yes, but the messages not only carry gardenbanter's address, they also carry the individual computer's computron ID and in this case, both northwest_man's and gardenlover's are the same. There are some scenarios in which the user could be innocent, but you only have consider the following posts: Date: Wed, 25 May 2005 16:46:44 +0000 Message-ID: "Have you ever heard of my crappy product?!? My neighbord has the same problem and after using it his yard definitely looks much better. I can ask for more info if you'd like. Date: Thu, 26 May 2005 15:57:33 +0000 Message-ID: "Okay so I asked my neighbord about my crappy product for you. Here is the website ...." Date: Thu, 26 May 2005 16:06:14 +0000 Message-ID: "Try my crappy product. It worked for me and my neighbord. Here is the link for more info ...." So either this guy is a little too enthusiastic to be heeded or this amazing crappy product is so great you can qualify to shill for it within 24 hours. A third possibility is that he may have spelled neighborg wrong, in which case he's the same person, but also isn't. Damned cyberorganic androids moving in all over the place. |
