This may not exceed four lines. This may be posted no more often than once every three months. The subject line should begin "AD" or "ADVERT". Participants in discussions may include references to their garden-related business in their .sig (max. four lines). " -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the weeds to email me) |

If Sacha can spam for her own business with her every self righteous
posting, it must be okay because her shit doesn't stink!!!! "Al Reynolds" wrote in message ... "St. George" St. wrote in message ... Is it "correct" to promote a commercial website when using a Newsgroup ? It does depend on whether it's *your* commercial website. Al |

Translating - it must be OK by the newsgroup charter for a participant in a discussion to refer to his/her own gardening relevant business in his/her sig, because Sacha does so, and she may of course be relied upon to abide by the charter (even if few others seem to think it has much relevance nowadays) :-) |

I think you have forgotten what Spam is,(Unsolicited commercial email (UCE), more commonly known as "Spam,") and that is one thing that Sacha has never done, also I don't think I have once come across her plugging her husbands nursery, it is linked on her tab line as is many other peoples businesses and interests. Without people with a lot of gardening experience, be it commercial or as a keen armature then this and other gardening groups would be of no use or interest to anybody. It,s just a pity that people who have much to contribute as well as a lot of total time wasters, have decided that it is clever to be totaly obnoxious and insulting to people they have never meet and who do so much to promote gardening. I always thought that this was a group for Adults, but seems to be more and more spoiled brats talking over. Lets get back to gardening related topics and leave all the rest of the crap for the compost heap. -- David Hill Abacus nurseries www.abacus-nurseries.co.uk |

When it comes to a knowledge of plant names and identification I must say he is second to none amongst the groups ............. But ........ if only he wasn't such an acid person. -- David Hill Abacus nurseries www.abacus-nurseries.co.uk |

I give people a few chances to redeem themselves after unsolicited nastiness otherwise they go plonk. Disagreement and discussion is good but there is no call for simple uncouth rudeness. So, to me, this Ng is the same as ever just that a few of the excellent regulars aren't here anymore. -- Regards Bob In Runnymede, 17 miles West of London |
