Margaret, what about the sunburned tomatoes you were advising folks in New Hampshire to worry about. Or about your accusation that Byron was spreading TMV because he smokes. This is an internet list, and you don't have to worry yourself about "Newbies" as most of them are probably more aware than you of that fact. You and your buddy Chuck have used that excuse every time someone other than yourselves has an opinion. I've seen you do it to Byron, and Thomas, and others. You and Chuck both claim it is because you are so worried for the newcomers, thus you don't delete others posts, you don't post to the individual privately, and you make the list a flame war. I have signed off every gardening list that you are on because you behave this way, and I've asked you to stop that kind of behavior on this list because I wanted to learn something about tomatoes. Don't bother responding in the same vein to me, as I enjoy gardening too much to make you and "your list" any part of it any more. I'd rather grow flowers that put up with this list with you on it. I hope the real list owner cares.

I don't think there's another person on Internet who is as unknowledgeable though giving "advice." I think somewhere among that blither you said that insects come in round numbers. That isn't true either. Margaret >>
