No, it's just another type of snobbery or smugness frowning on people
using
GardenBanter

No, it's an attempt to get people to understand that a gardening group has
been running for many years (20+) under the heading of uk.rec.gardening.
What the hell is gardenbanter anyway, and why do people post from there when
they can do it so much easier by subcribing (free) to uk.rec.gardening?

Gardenbanter is a web site that lists loads of usenets groups.........I suppose
we should be glad that people find us though them :~)

They do tell people its a portal and they list a FAQ about usenet.

Most people don't know about newsgroups and some URGlers try to enhance their
knowledge by pointing out what's what.

Quite.

In a very authoritarian and superior way.

My whole point.

For goodness sake - give it a rest - I thought you had gone away and I
very much enjoyed not having to weed out your nasty replies - if you do
it again, you will be plonked.

Why wait any longer? Actions speak louder than words. I don't expect to see
you respond to any more of my posts. Shut the door quietly as you leave.

Cheerio

The lowest of the low are trolls and the person who started this thread
has been trolling here for years. He most certainly is not a
legitimate member of this group and I cannot imagine why people
continue to answer him. In most cases, I think it's because they have
better manners than he has and treat all who post with courtesy and
seriousness.
If ever a thread was designed to take a swipe at those who try to
explain easier procedures to others, this is it. He starts threads
only to gain attention and he has been sniping in his usual fashion
ever since he returned to troll again. IMO, this would be a much
better place if he removed himself or if people did not encourage him
by answering his inanities seriously. He admits to no knowledge of
gardening and is a constant stirrer of trouble. It has taken no time
at all for his old tricks to re-surface - mainly aimed at Janet B or me
- but he was ignored to start with. Hence the starting of several new
threads in an increasingly sad and desperate need for attention. IOW,
plonk the plonker.

for goodness sake. Put your school marm hat on and speak out

Shrewd move. His behaviour has him in more killfiles than anyone else
here.
