Glass mulch
"keith" wrote in message ... This all started due to glass mulch? Nice one I,well said.I made the top post,not knowing! Now that you know, I assume that you will refrain from continuing to do so. Franz, mistakes are made I am very glad to hear you acknowledge that. Will you now please post in line in your further posts? you should take a chill pill!! Have you checked your blood pressure lately, after all it is meant to be fun,not crucify someone because you don't agree. I did not crucify anyone. I pointed out that (1) It is appallingly kitch taste to use pieces of glass as a mulch. That statement was correct in all respects. (2) Netiquette suggests, for very good reasons, that top posting is poor practice. It is. I see no reason to poinrt this out to people who appear not to be aware of it. How else are they supposed to become aware of this piece oif good manners? Franz will this be the last word,then we can get back to gardening or we could create a bitching newsgroup,that could be fun! I would love to get back to gardening topics.

I don't top post but if people want to I don't feel it's my place to tell them not to. I also try to refrain from telling people they have poor or no taste just because their taste may be different from mine. K |

Franz If you learned to hold your tongue or reply in a courteous manner the threads that YOU turn into long threads of nonsense would be finished. You seem to think you know everything about newsgroups but you still make mistakes and then argue that you know better. As far as I am concerned you are causing more unnecessary posts in the group than anyone else Keith or k or K check the Email Then you know who wrote this post |

Franz will this be the last word,then we can get back to gardening or we could create a bitching newsgroup,that could be fun! I would love to get back to gardening topics. Franz If you learned to hold your tongue or reply in a courteous manner I do, generally. the threads that YOU turn into long threads of nonsense would be finished. If the folk whose errors I point out would accept what I said. the thread would not be very long at all. You seem to think you know everything about newsgroups No. I don't know everything about newsgroups. Kindly point out any statement of mine which implied that. I do in fact know *some* things about the use of newsgroups. Those are the things I try to bring to the attention of urglers who appear not to know. but you still make mistakes Yup. I make a vast number of mistakes. and then argue that you know better. Balls. When a mistake on my part is pointed out I apologise absolutely immediately about it. Sometimes in more than one posting. As far as I am concerned you are causing more unnecessary posts in the group than anyone else You do not *have* to respond to my posts. In fact those threads would be considerably shorter if you had refrained from responding. Keith or k or K check the Email Then you know who wrote this post Franz |

Franz,
buy the way it is the way you advise someone,with ignorance!! example, your comment- How very perfectly awfully kitsch and tasteless. (that was helpful) you could have said- glass mulch not really my taste, but you could try a google search. see the difference! keith "bigboard" wrote in message ...

Why should I prevaricate about it? And don't top post. It betraysa your bad manners. Franz "bigboard" wrote in message ...

Why should I prevaricate about it? 1) if the OP feels taste is important, they may be unaware they have bad taste, and it is something that is difficult for them to change. Telling them bluntly that their taste is bad serves no useful purpose for them and may distress them. 2) if they don't feel taste is important, then your comment is at best irrelevant and at worst impertinent 3) you may be wrong ;-) It's still interesting to hear Franz's opinion. -- Martin |

I can't believe how much garbage I have to delete. G'wan. Surely urg has always been full of waffle at certain times of the year? Probably just means the seed catalogues have been sent out late... For a spot of nostalgic comparison, how about: http://tinyurl.com/t0u4 http://tinyurl.com/t0uc and particularly http://tinyurl.com/t0uh (spot the 'CATS' thread with 483 articles!) Victoria |
