I don't think Allegra's point is that this is an EXCLUSIVELY
English-speaking group (we all know that Allegra is way too tasteful and
ladylike to say anything so tacky!). That seems pretty apparant (at least
to me) in her second paragraph.

She just meant that she can't speak Dutch, and she was glad that Rien can.
This newsgroups PREDOMINANT language is English, that's all.

I can only speak for myself, but I certainly don't mind if non-English
speakers post in here...but like Allegra, I hope they won't feel bad if
nobody can answer due to our limited knowledge of their language(s).

Hello Jim dear,

Easier to pass judgment than to read with an open mind
I guess. But thank you for your kind words, I really felt
bad about not being able to help someone who was
asking how tall it would get and when to prune it.
Just to put x cm and March or April would have been
dumb, since I honestly didn't even know where the person
was. So I was hoping for someone to come to the rescue
and I was only to happy to encourage with a thank you
the person who did. Lets leave it at this. It would have
being "friendly" as in the signature of the person who
wrote the above if he would have extended me the courtesy
of asking what I meant if that would have been of any
importance at all. But I guess, as I said that to some
people it is easier to pass judgment than to ask the meaning
of something.

How are your roses doing? Mine are begin to stretch!
Some little buds all over, and if the weather cooperates
I will transplant tomorrow several cuttings from last fall
that have some real fatty roots and green growth and
try to put last fall's bands that were put on gallon pots
into the Leonard's bathtubs. I am breaking into hives
just of sheer impatience. How has the weather been
up there up the street from me where you are?

And thank you again, you are a gentleman and I am
grateful that at least someone recognized a kind word
to others without any other "hidden" meaning,

Allegra
