You still haven't twigged, have you? You're a good lad, or you wouldn't be doing horti at college. So I'll take the time to spell it out. This group is riddled with people with qualifications in horticulture, agriculture, or botany, or twenty to fifty+ years' gardening experience, often professional. You could have made friends; but you came in asking us to do your homework for you, which is an absolute no-no in adult newsgroups (the answer's certain to be on the Web, by the way). That's strictly for future cowboys: don't be tempted. If it's tough at college, take a deep breath and ask your tutors for guidance (we've all done it, and we know it takes some doing: but it gets you respect in the end). Then, puh-lease, you tried saving face by gratuitously offering to test us with elementary questions on stuff half of us probably learned from our mothers. That's going to get up noses, n'est-ce pas? You could have spent the time in the library or discussing it with your mates, anyhow. Bollocking over, if you've read this far. So get back to work, feel good about your achievements; and remember that any hard slog you have to do at college will look like a holiday when you're rebuilding a dry-stone wall in an east wind. But you'll be even prouder of that wall. Best of wishes: and I mean it. Ah, at last! A polite, mature member of this group. Thank you for clarifying that for me. I apologise for my ignorance. Obviously the majority of you folks are highly knowledgeable, experienced professionals et al, but could somebody please answer me just one question: what is a "troll," and how exactly could I possibly be one of these things? Dr Dan May I suggest you Google, as you appear to be very well acquainted with the concept? Lazy moronic f***wit. -- In memory of MS MVP Alex Nichol: http://www.dts-l.org/ |
