Hi Grenou,

Nice to see you posting, but just a quick note: you're posting below the
signature separator "-- " which causes all kinds of problems up to and
including many people won't see your post at all.

Bottom posting is good, just make sure you delete the other person's
signature first.

Thanks!

Truly glorious. That looks like Sambucus 'Sutherland's Gold' supporting
it. Lovely combination.

Oh my .. (as my American online friends, in newsgroups and forums, say).
Maybe I'd better give up, I am obviously not 'doing it' right.
Thankfully my gardening skills are ok, so not too much is lost ☺

Bye bye.

Well I'm certainly not trying to encourage you to go away, on the
contrary, I'd like it if everyone could see what you're posting!

So, don't disappear on my account.

Let me explain, it's not just a case of you "not doing it right", Emery was
not being pedantic, he was trying to be helpful. Some newsreaders strip out
everything below the signature separators so those using those types of
Newsreaders will never see your posts. That is what the separators are for,
for easy removal (automatic removal) of unnecessary stuff.

I can see why you think it's that Sambucus, but it is actually Jasminum
officinale 'Aureum'.

The funny thing about the Ipomoea is that it germinated well from seed
(in May, IIRC), but after planting out a couple of dozen plants most
just sat there and then disappeared (eaten; died?). One grew feebly at
the start, then got going, but didn't start flowering until mid August.
The plant in the picture also grew slowly, then put on a spurt in
September, twining all over the place, but there was no sign of flower
buds until a couple of weeks ago, when it became smothered in them. But
it still refused to flower until a few days ago. Most odd for something
usually considered a rather rampant climber.

I hope it will continue to flower until it gets hit by frost.

.... and you will note that when I reply, it will have your post with double
chevrons, Bob's post with single chevrons and my reply (at the bottom) with
no chevrons.
All the signatures have been removed except mine which should be deleted by
yourself or your newsreader when you reply.

Not yet, and I probably won't bother. Packets of Ipomoea tricolor
'Heavenly Blue' are usually easily obtainable and very cheap.

I also just noticed you use Windows Live Mail to come here, just like me. As
a Newsgroup reader and poster program it's pants, it does not treat posts in
accordance with convention/rules, it's clunky, and Microsoft say they will
not fix it.

To get it to work even a bit properly, although not automatically, I had to
download and use
AutoHotKey and WlmQuoteFix
which together do go some way to correct Microsoft's program.

see... http://www.dusko-lolic.from.hr/wlmquote/

and that is the site I downloaded both from years ago so should be OK. You
can insert a signature into it so that when you click the Win+9 key
combination your reply is formatted correctly, including the chevrons, and a
signature is automatically inserted at the bottom so all you have to do is
write the reply.
Works for me.

The alternative is to ignore the 'clique' and do what I have done since
those who feel they "OWN" the forum and complained that I was not obeying
their commands and ........ top post.

If you haven't been following the thread and don't know what has been said
before, then read the thread.

It all makes sense to me. Are you less brainy than me? If "I" can work out
what is and has been said, why can't you?

Mike, for once in your life try to learn something, read this...

http://linux.sgms-centre.com/misc/netiquette.php

and you will find why people find your type of posting a pain in the butt
and react to you the way they do.

It is not a clique, as you say, it is the worldwide convention, the rules
for Usenet that have been followed for decades to make life easier for
everyone. If you can't understand and follow rules and conventions how were
you ever in the Navy or an Electrician?

The poster you all had a go at will now see just what this forum is like.

Get on with talking and advertising GARDENING, it is what most of you are
best at, some better than others.

One thing, those who don't post here but just read and comment elsewhere,
all agree, this forum is a jolly good laugh sometimes .................
keep it up.

Just one bit of advice which I have given before, if you don't like my
posting and wish to stay within the clique, ........... don't open my posts
if they send you towards a heart attack.

Mike
