snip stuff not worth quoting

The second change of name in a week. I cannot conceive of any other
reason than a desire for attention from those of us who have steadfastly
KF-ed him over the ages?

Usenet is not the real world. It's just entertainment or diversion or
sometimes even a learning aid.


Some of us here have known each other a very long time. Not quite as
simple as you make out.

Too right!

Well, I'm sorry if I annoyed some of you. I didn't mean to. You are
what you is (and she knows who she is). I just didn't get the aggresive
tones and it got to me and I never was rude, ever. From where I've
stood it looked really obvious and I have still no regrets, non rien de
rien, but I feel just perhaps a slight feeling that I want to
apologise. I'm not sure what about. Just apologise for letting you all
without some of the posters you once had here, some of you miss others,
but I still can't understand why I should be to blame.

I hope the people who have left will also return in the same spirit that
you
have expressed :~)))))

Per-lease! are you deranged?.

Probably :~)
Normal is boring :~)

Peace and sanity has just broken out. Enjoy it.

I am.

.... and aren't gardeners, true gardeners, friendly people in general who
will share cuttings and advice, plants and help? I always thought it
was, it has been my experience here anyway.

I just approached this newsgroup in the same way, pooling ideas, gaining
advice and swapping cuttings etc. Most gardeners like to share their
gardens as well if they can to interested visitors!

Or maybe it's like anything in life? You get out what you put in?

Yes, that's so.

It hasn't been mine, sadly :-(

Same here. In this area the gardeners among us are always coming to share
ideas - and seedlings, plants and produce too. None of us is a professional
though, none of us is a specialist in anything. None of us every tells
anyone how to do something, only how they do it. We're all just bumbling
along and that's the way we like it.

Or maybe it's like anything in life? You get out what you put in?

Well, I'd like to think so.

As one of the people accused (wrongly) by Sacha, and having been
abused
by her several times during the past ten or so years, I am
relieved
that
she has gone, (or that she says she has gone). She accused me of
something I was not guilty of and I cannot forgive her for that.
Were
she to apologise, I would gladly do so but that is highly
unlikely.

June the world we deal with is made up of fringe dwellers and
hearth
dwellers. If Sacha was one of your fringe dwellers then it is
easier
to just let it go. If she was a hearth dweller and upset you then
that is a different matter.

It's actually very simple. You are the person in control.

I too have known people on Usenet in a lot of groups for a VERY long
time and also had disagreements with them. I just don't believe that
its worth my energy to be upset by anything anyone says for too long
if at all. But then I also worked for many years negotiating with
very tough industrial unions. If one has the sort of mindset to take
offence it's not possible to survive in that sort of work for very
long.

One of the unions I worked with was famed for having a truck load of
manure delivered and dumped on the driveway of anyone on the
management team. I think the mongrels deliberately excluded me from
such a delivery as they knew I was a gardener. I'd have been only too
delighted to have had to ring work and say that I couldn't come in as
I had to move a pile of poo before I could get my car out.

Well, having watched developments over the last 8 days,

PLONK

Thankee kindly, and in Capitals, too!

Nym shifting turd! I can repeatedly PLONK you so keep up the nym
shifts and I'll just keep PLONKING you.

Will you stop that, darling, it tickles!

Follow-up

How wise of you to see at last the wisdom of the *silent plonk*.

To announce a "PLONK" is to legitimise and admit the existence of the
the plonkee.

In this instance, silence is golden.

Well done that Farmer.
