It's in the nature of gardeners to talk and share information about gardening, even gardening in other places. And since most of the plants we like to nurture are natives of other lands, discussion of them is not all that off topic. And with the way the seasons are changing, whatever your opinions on climate change and the alleged effects thereof, what is OT today may not be OT tomorrow. There was for instance an item on TV yesterday about proteas, natives of Southern Africa, flowering for the first time outdoors in UK. And if something is OT, then so what? Nobody dies. You just don't join in the threads that don't interest you. There, another problem solved. Next please. Lighten up, you know it makes sense. Steve |

"Paul Narramore" wrote in message ... Hello This is my first post here but already I'm a bit puzzled. The note at the top of the page states the post I'm about to reply to will be quoted below. Why? Other message boards I write on simply lists the posts as it is always obvious what the writer is referring to. This seems to me to be an unneccessarily long winded way of creating a thread, don't you think? Imagine you are conversation with a friend and you say to the friend "I finally got around to pruning my fremontodendron this afternoon" and he replies "I got around to pruning my fremontodendron this afternoon. Oh did you? Did it take you long." Seems a bit odd to me. What do you all think? Paul Probably because you are using gardenbanter, get a proper isp and that may help. |

Other message boards I write on simply lists the posts as it is always obvious what the writer is referring to. [...] This isn't a message board, of course; newsgroups may have different protocols from what you are accustomed to. When you type your reply, you can always snip any irrelevant parts of the quoted material, as I have just done. Actually it isn't "always obvious what the writer is referring to", since the newsgroup messages are listed in a random order. Even if you are able to set your newsreader to show messages by subject, your reply post may refer to a previous message a long way down the stack, and threads often wander a long way from the initial point. It's easier for readers if the context is immediately apparent and doesn't need to be hunted down. Alan Jones |
