How very divisive and exclusive that sounds.

So come and join us. You'll be welcome.

The point is that we are joined.

Straw Poll question for urglers: if urg.allotments was created, how
many of you would unsub from urg and _just_ take urg. allotments?

I wouldn't. I'd take both.

Several people have asked you why you have never taken part in the
allotment discussions which regularly take place in uk.rec.gardening.
Since your RFD a variety of new allotment discussions and questions have
arisen in urg, again without any participation or apparent interest from
you.

I would be interested in hearing an answer to that question.

On the other hand, if the proponent had posted to urg he would have
discovered that his post would have been welcome , and that there are
knowledgeable folk in urg with whom he could have held discussions.

My impression is quite strongly that the proponent is simply trying to do a
modicum of empire building.

Let me get one thing straight with you, I'm NOT a troll OR am I empire
building. Its not like I'm going to get paid for starting a new newsgroup.
What im trying to do is bring Allotment Holders together so we can discuss
Allotments.

Which you failed to do as far as I can see.

I really don't see a problem with that Franz

No problem with getting allotmenteers together, but they seem to be
pretty thick on the ground in urg as it is, and I don't see any
segregation or victimisation - quite the reverse.

FWIW I agree with all Franz's views. Including the empire-building bit.

He's doing very nicely without any help - with tuition in the art of
terollerollery he'd lose a lot of his disruptive potential.

Hmmm. Must do better. Only three heads on one troll is *NOT* much of a
distinction.
