You got the wrong end of the stick.

I certainly did and have already appologised for my misunderstanding in
response to the post from Kay.

..
He suggests that
we do it to show off what we know, not to help. I regard that as an
unpleasant and inaccurate slur.

So do I.


The only posters I have seen showing off in this newsgroup are the
ignorant boors and trolls who have nothing to say about gardening and
are here for some other purpose.


Too true.

The original post was replied to by Sacha Hubbard, David Hill, Rod Craddock,
and Grinch.
There are two professional Nurserymen (well one is the wife of one) and a
professional Head Gardener amongst them (Grinch seems to have some
experience too) so I have difficulty with your comment Janet.
Sorry, but please explain it to a thick allotment veg grower.

You got the wrong end of the stick. I hope David, Sacha and Rod have
more sense than to think I was referring to them; in the same post I had
just endorsed David's comments on rudeness to people who respond to
gardening questions.

Speaking for myself, I knew exactly what you meant.
