Re: Pollination


Ray,
 
Taking a private response public is the worst kind of internet rudeness. Since you seem to think this list owes you something because sometime prior to five years ago you Claim to have posted something other than a self-serving ad then Please as least respect the privacy of a private communication.
 
It seems to me that about 50% of the time you post something it provokes a response that puts you in your "rant mode". I for one would tolerate your abuse of the list if you would just quit posting responses when someone takes exception to your violating the rules of this list.
 
My vote now makes it 7 to 3 for computer help continuing and 1 to 0 to waive goodbye to Ray.

Ray, you already let us know this was available, and I appreciate that, but the advertisement below does not belong here.  I thought this list was free of advertisements!  I don’t want to get in some public tirade, so I responded to you privately.  Please limit your ‘advertising’ to only items that are directly relevant and at least include a letter or something to make it look like a post rather than just a commercial. 



I am saying this for your own protection (from some of the verbal abuse from the list) and for my own enjoyment of the one mailing list I am on that does not include a bunch of junk mail.

Gus,

Thanks for your 2 cents.  This is pollination time and I feel that some folks may need a little help!  Is that not relevant?  As for taking abuse, I'm a big boy.  And I don't "advertise" to this list all that much; just when I feel it may help.  Far less than some others, by the way.  And I'm not playing any games.

When this list first started I answered a lot, to try to get it off the ground - just like giant pumpkin growing.  So please don't try to censor or restrict me.  That is not your place on this list.

I think it is very important to have list members.  I feel it is a great list.  I could write volumes on the PVP thread but choose not to.  Much of the information that has been presented is way off base.  Just so you know I'm "out there"!
