Sacha, I admire your knowledge of gardening matters. I mean it.
Please stick to posting *only* on such topics, because you have not one
ounce of humour and should therefore steer well clear of admonishing poor
simple minded folk like us..
Please let us idiots amuse ourselves by posting trivial off- topic
thoughts
in the off-season.
You don't actually have to read those trivial posts.

Have a happy new year

A Very Merry Chrismas and a Happy New Year to you too Franz

Franz, I disagree with you, you obviously don't know Sacha or not read
many of her posts; she has a warm and sunny personality. However, like
some of us she gets fed up with the childish repartee of some posters
and as a long time urgler, she has a vested interest, as most of us do,
to try and keep broadly to gardening matters. Naturally we all have a
joke over the urg garden fence from time to time, but just recently some
posters are really going too far with their comments.

The odd trivial amusing comments are certainly entertaining but the
volume of one liners - purporting to be witty - are tedious.

You don't actually have to read those trivial posts.

I agree with you there, but we have to pay to download them and
therefore have the right to express displeasure.

Knowing Sacha, she will communicate with anybody who can hold a
reasonable discussion but I doubt you will find her responding now to
the childish tit for tat of some posters.

Your mistake; Sacha has been contributing to urg for very many years.
Both she and urg have a long reputation for being polite on-topic and
patient most of the time.

And . . . has hostessed two super meets . . . with open invitations to
all urglers . . . no discrimination what so ever.

Prophecy for 2004;

joins Kleeneze, sells a record number of brooms, and uses urg to recruit

I can just visualise you and Sacha on broomsticks :-)

Have a nice Christmas and don't fall off!

Hey! you'll be treading on Anne J's toes if you're not careful.

Who? Anyway I have been playing with that for years)

Anne posts in here from time to time, and has been doing so for a good
five years, I'd guestimate.

She *MAY* have been posting here before me, (in another spamcarnation)
and I've been here on and off for about six or seven years.

Franz, I disagree with you,

Do I then take it that you don't admire Sacha's knowledge of gardening
matters? That dismays me intensely, because I do.

you obviously don't know Sacha or not read
many of her posts; she has a warm and sunny personality. However, like

The number of frivolous contributions do not subtract one jot from the
total number of dedicated contributions. They simply make the total number
of messages per day somewhat larger.

The total number of messages per day is not at all outrageous, in
comparison with my other ng, namely sci.physics, which handles something
like 300 or 400 messages per day.

Lastly, there is absolutely no obligation to read the frivolous messages.
They may be blocked, deleted or marked as read without wasting time reading
them.

Naturally we all have a
joke over the urg garden fence from time to time, but just recently some
posters are really going too far with their comments.

Who is to decide what is far? Are you perhaps too near? Please remember
that mother nature provided you with two ears. One of these you may use for
letting the "too far" stuff escape.
(Oh, dear. I forgot. One does not use the ears for aquiring information
from urg.)

I agree with you there, but we have to pay to download them and

I have pointed out in another post that the price per typical letter is
around ten to hundred of micropence, so that financial considerations are
utterly negligible. Would you like an arrangement with each of the
frivolous posters to send you say, a penny per year to defray your
downloading costs?

Knowing Sacha, she will communicate with anybody who can hold a
reasonable discussion but I doubt you will find her responding now to
the childish tit for tat of some posters.

Nobody expects that she should if she does not feel like doing so.
I repeat what I said earlier. I have the highest regard for Sacha's
comments on gardening matters. She does genuinely appear to have an
enormous font of knowledge and experience to tap. I am only asking her to
please simply take no notice of those of us who are affliicted with an
overdose
of levity.

When I was an anklebiter in the 'forties the Kleeneezee Man was a portly

with a big box on the front - like an ice-cream thingy of the time.

Urg's erstwhile Kleeneze-rep is a portly little chap with no teeth who
was fond of boasting about his vehicle, so it could be the same one.

I very much doubt it: he must have been in his late fifties in the mid
