(in article ): snip Surely it is better to offer no advice at all, than to tell someone something which is, at best, misleading? No-one that I know is an expert with knowledge of _everything_ to do with gardening. The people with the most knowledge tend to be the most modest. What wise words, Anne! Whilst I understand that someone may wish to offer advice from their own experience although it is advice contrary to the received wisdom of experts, I have never understood why someone should be so eager to give a response to just about everything that they rush to Google, phone and email their friends, etc, just to be able to answer practically every query. It seems to imply a pathetic eagerness. I have seen exactly the same pattern on other groups in the past. -- Sally in Shropshire, UK bed and breakfast near Ludlow: http://www.stonybrook-ludlow.co.uk Burne-Jones/William Morris window in Shropshire church: http://www.whitton-stmarys.org.uk |
