You may be feeling smug, but the rest of us have lost a good proportion
of the urg expertise on trees and shrubs and the largest part of the
expertise on tropicals.

I don't do smug. I merely note objectively that this is a better,
calmer and more friendly place since it was vacated by the
self-serving and self-elected 'leaders'. They have no monopoly on
expertise in the subjects you mention and the slight hiatus you
deplore will be transient. The atmosphere will now surely be more
attractive to other, more congenial contributors, unencumbered by the
burden of elitism combined with the heavy load of shoulder-chips and
domination fixation.

So we have substituted you for some of the experts that have fled this
place.
I don't think we have a good deal.

The newsgroup doesn't seem to be lacking advice :-)))

However it would seem to still be attracting trouble makers. Go and join a

You now have a better mousetrap. Other experts will come.

I don't think we have a good deal.

It never was a deal.

But we did have a deal, a good deal similar to the one the Nazis had in
Germany in 1939 if you were not a Jew, where 'certain people should not be
allowed to breed' :-((
