I'm a little surprised at the stalwarts of this group that none can help
with a request for advice on black spot which is a legitimate and
reasonable request for information to a gardening group. While you
stalwarts in the same time frame discuss " smoked bacon??" ad nauseum.
Wow, get with it please and think about helping your up and coming
gardeners.

Well according to Sailor Mike (or Blind Pugh as we know him) the black
spot was a warning issued among pirates of forthcoming doom.
So be afraid, be very afraid!

Unfortunately requests for information are often unanswered in Usenet. You
cannot demand answers. Usenet is not a paid for service.

OK , enough of the silly nonsese do you have any advice for the person
who has asked for information to alleviate the fungal infection on his
plants.
or do you want to continue making a mockery of this well meaning but
slightly rudderless group.

But if they are truly interested in gardening it behoves these experts?
to help others who may have not yet reached their exalted status in the
plant world.

It's always possible to google for the answer.

Yes but as a contributor to the group do you really think that i.e
"They are easy to make. I'm surprised more people don't make their own.
I started with a Tasty Sausage Maker advertised in Private Eye and moved
on to using a sausage making attachment on the Kenwood Chef."
is an useful contribution to uk.rec.gardening.I'm inclined to suggest
that if you want to chat to your friends about OT topics why not email
them and enjoy your intercourse that way.

You poor deluded fellow, you really cannot understand that anyone can be
really interested in helping others can you!
Congratulations - I don't fall for it very often :-)

And you haven't fallen for anything on this occasion either exept in
your churlish mind, if you really need to be convinced
I suggest you look up my record of contributions to NGs in general.

I had hence knowing it was a fungal infection the greatest
"spreader/enabler" of which was damp (water splashing up from the soil
included). What I had asked for was opinions ("pet" methods). To the
person who said you can't demand answers I didn't (I wouldn't)I asked
for opinions, if no one feels like answering or has anything to say far
be it for me to demand answers.
Donwill unfortunately I don't have access to a power station so
living downwind of one is out.

OMG. Why didn't you make it clear that the Black Spot was on your
sausage?

I imagine that if people /had/ a preferred solution to black spot they would
have posted it.

And if they don't they won't.

It's not an 'either/or' when it comes to responding. The fact that people
are responding to a thread about smokey bacon is irrelevant when it comes to
the fact that they have not responded to a Black Spot question.

Ah yes, I remember it; wasn't sure what was been asked though. There
was a 'pet' mentioned, though not actually a black one called spot, I
think.
Come to think of it, a 'pet' method would suggest an element of
repetition, suggesting in turn, that it ain't working, so the OP,
whilst seemingly having a grasp on what BS is, seemed to be asking for
an unsuccessful approach.
As I didn't have one to mind I gave it a miss.
As for the chemical alternatives I wondered if detergents such as
amarillotox, or is it armillotox, qualifies as a 'chemical' to the OP
and whether they are still available in the UK. (I'm not, so i gave
that a miss too)

23 posts is hardly ad nauseum. And phrased in such a way that the
readers were, evidentially in some small number, more able to get
their teeth into it.

Wow, get with it please and think about helping your up and coming

Ah yes, and introducing your antagonism through your troll fest will
do wonders for that. Do please just go **** yourself you ****.
