I hope you have asked the supplier to ensure that you get a claim form from the courier, too, if there's any question of you being out of pocket. We've only recently started doing mail order though my husband was very reluctant at first for all the reasons you mention ( I feel sure you were quite adamant that you would NOT do mail order! Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think I am Kind regards Mike |

o.uk... Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think I am I have lost count of the times you have been wrong and been corrected. Never once have you acknowledged the fact. In this particular case I don't know whether you are right or wrong, but I DO know that it's absolutely none of your business how Sacha manages her affairs. I understand that you live near a cliff. Why don't you do us all a favour and go for a nice long walk? Very kindest regards |

I quite agree that it is not ANYONE'S business how anyone runs their business, but to make a statement that she will NOT do mail order, for the reasons stated in the OPs statement, then to announce that she DOES do mail order, concerns everybody if she broadcasts her business to all and sundry, as she does here. Don't you find it rather 'funny', 'odd' even 'two faced' to pick me up for 'advertising', 'commenting on', my ex service reunions etc? Even to be questioned on my Presidency of an RAF Association? (President of an RN Association now as well:-)) and if you think it is off topic, the subject arose when my wife, as wife of the President, was presented with a basket of flowers at a huge parade at RAF Cosford. "Certain people" chose to 'mistake' my posting, that I was President of the Royal Air Forces Association!!!! With reference to the Cliff Path, one of the prettiest walks on the Isle of Wight and I walk quite a bit of it every evening. Part of my rehab from Quadruple Heart Bye Pass Surgery. Thank you so much for your concern for my health. :-))) Kind regards |

He admits that he is not a gardener so I don't know why he comes here except that there are a lot of female posters. He only seems to insult the ladies so I think he must get some sort of trembly pleasure from it. All the regulars now either killfile him or just ignore him. |

Pigs will fly Kindest possible regards That's what happens when you are killfiled Mike. You don't get answers. Talking of being ignored, I have read your post about Mirabel and Michael Osler, where you said- AMAZING!!! So many people have visited this question and left their 'footprint', including those who have 'kill filed' me. Can you explain how you know who had read your post? And did *I* leave a 'footprint' - before today? Kindest possible regards. |

Osler, where you said- AMAZING!!! So many people have visited this question and left their 'footprint', including those who have 'kill filed' me. Can you explain how you know who had read your post? And did *I* leave a 'footprint' - before today? Kindest possible regards. It was shown to me by a chap who knows computers inside out. He was showing me where I had been from his computer. On many of the sites I subscribe to it is quite easy to see who is visiting, how many have visited and how many have made postings and I remarked that on newsgroups this was not possible. He explained and showed how it could be done and he had already picked up on my recent posting on Mirabel and Michael Osler, went in and showed who had visited and when and left their 'footprint', he then identified some of them. The frightening part was when he went into one persons computer because they happened to be on line at the time, and read what they were doing. Their security was NIL!!! As with all computer nerds, his fingers were across the keyboard putting codes in so fast I could never remember them, so I wouldn't know how to get in again. However I will ask him to write it down because I am curious. Will report back as and when I know something. Kindest regards Mike (Is your security up to date???????) |

Well that sounds like a load of well-rotted organic matter to me. Whilst it is perfectly possible to remotely access an individual victim's computer, assuming that (a) you know their IP address and (b) they do not have an efficient firewall, it is NOT possible to monitor a thread on a newsgroup and see who has accessed it. So please tell us all how your friend had already picked up on my recent posting on Mirabel and Michael Osler, went in and showed who had visited and when and left their 'footprint', he then identified some of them. and give us a few examples of these footprints. With deepest respect RG |

Very kind of you but you're talking to a rather silly man so I'm afraid you're wasting your energy. He either can't get it, or he won't get it. The Nursery belongs to my husband and his son, not to me. I support, help, do whatever is required of me in that regard but no final decisions are mine. We went in for mail order at my suggestion but not following my decision, as my husband wasn't at all keen on the idea at one time. Various things contributed to his change of mind and as it has become more and more successful and orders build up, he realises how many people now shop online (including me who was last in a supermarket on Christmas Eve!) so he's glad we've gone for it. Crowe has been running a vendetta against me for years and succeeds only in making himself look more and more foolish, which seems apt, especially as I and so many others, will not engage the poor man in an exchange of posts. He's to be pitied as an ineffective irritant, IMO. snip -- -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Shrubs & perennials. Tender & exotics. South Devon |
