Title: Big Brother Is Watching Us
Post by: Kepouros on September 04, 2006, 22:08:53
Yesterday I idly `googled` the name of a specific plant disease.  The fourth item that came up bore the address of this site.  I clicked on it and got a whole thread from the Pests & Diseases board.  I then `googled` my own name and came up with some of my own postings.  Googling the names of other members brought up threads in which they were involved.  Something else to amuse when the board is quiet and the TV`s rubbish

And have you noticed that if you `google` a specific plant disease you are immediately invited to buy it on e-bay?

If you can buy plant diseases on ebay, I wonder if anyone wants to buy a ton of marestail or a load of docks, or ragwort, or bindweed? 

I could make a fortune!!

If you google `marestail`, you will immediately be invited to buy it on e-bay - I`ve just tried it.

Nobody invited me to buy Japanese knotweed on eBay! Where am I going to get this desirable plant??

You could always ask Alishka and save the Council Tax payers in Birmingham a few coppers
