What the hell is wrong with this group?
"David Hill" wrote
I post a joke, Baz posts a question about Kilner jars and many more items are posted and almost instantly a group of Pedants jump on the topic and start a diatribe. For Gods sake people Lighten Up. This is a Gardening group not a Political correctness group. Yes I did notice that but it's happened since this Ng was founded. I myself got into some hot water years ago when I first subscribed and quickly learnt to be careful what I get sucked into. Gardening by it's very nature can have lots of correct answers for many questions so arguments do and will happen, one just has to accept that. Unfortunately, over the years, some knowledgeable members have gone from the Ng because they could not accept being told they were wrong, which is sad. None of us know it all or get it all correct and seldom a week goes by without me adding to my knowledge. Personally I think we are still OK here, unlike a lot of Usenet, and certainly still do share our collective extensive experience/knowledge with anyone that asks. Long may that continue. -- Regards.

Very well said. This group is very "OK" The likes of "steerpike" and "Mike" are a long long way ago. I know that I can be a pain in the arse, but I am sorting that out. Baz |
