if you likeI'm getting really concerned by the lack of encouragement for some new users on this site, they come on here so excited and just get shot down, even if they're not doing/living the way others do, isn't this a gardening site, ? :(
wow, let us know how you get on ;Dsomebody pick on me, I'll get a lottery ticket ;D
I say well done for starting this thread too Manics!Like EJ, I was an avid member of this site, my family used to tease me no end about it, and I gained so much knowledge and made lots of friends, but they have mostly moved on, partly by the change in attitudes I imagine. I no longer post as I have been upset by replies the same as Emma Jane. Everyone was always so helpful and encouraging, and worked so hard. Was it Mike B who did so much work on different varieties I remember? And for people to insult Tim is the worst...!A4all was always a wonderful place to be and you could guarantee to be cheered up by the posts. Ace I still love yours! But it is not my first port of call now and I know longer feel like answering posts as I am shot down so often. There are so many answers to any question as everyone has different ways of doing things and no way is the 'right' way, it is just what works for you as an individual. It was always wonderful that you could ask a question and get so many different answers and try them all to see what worked on your plot.And where does all this political stuff fit into gardening.... I am sure there are better forums for it.... :-\Sorry, I have rambled and expect I will be shot down, but Dan has done a wonderful job setting up this site and it is sad to see the way it is going.Even Dan doesn't post now.... :'(keep on rambling Tulipa - after all your a member of the site and have every right to ramble. so what do these "members" deem to be scroungers - id describe myself as a scrounger - im tight and wont spend money if i can help it - i will make rather than buy, borrow rather than buy (but i do return), i use freecycle - does that make me a scrounger - if it does great - i don't care. o and just in case anyone wonders i work full time 9 till 5.30, 5 days a week so its not cause i don't have the money - im just thrifty with it where i can be loli have found this site nothing but great for advise and help and i can only apologize to those members who have had less than positive comments made to them by other membersdont let them grind you down, you have as much right to be here as anyone elseT.
