I post a question and the thread goes unanswered/ignored. Then it disappears off the screen and it's dead for good. On ocassion, someone will chime in that they, too, would like an answer to that question; but still, no concrete answers.
I try not to post something idiotic and certainly try to research on my own. Because I read a lot of the postings made here, I know there are knowledgeable people at all levels who can answer the question or at least point in the right direction. So, why doncha????
Having said that, I realize many of the questions seem repetitive sometimes. I also realize that I just may not have an answer. What should we do?
1) Ignore the question and make the poster think we are not as friendly as we so proudly self-proclaim,
2) post that we don't know (and thus waste people's time reading information devoid postings)
3) take 30 seconds and post a link that has the answer or can help inquiring minds research on their own
4) ignore this thread and go nursery shopping
I am thinking about this and hope you will also. Maybe we can come up w/ some methodology so that when people ask questions, the rest of us don't appear rude and uncaring. Gardeners are not that way. BTW, it is interesting to me that the subject of ignored threads crops up in my private dmail but nobody says anything. This is not limited to any one forum, the ignored question issue is all over this website. Curiously, seems like all of us have been on either side of the issue: a) ignored or b) ignorer
Well, I'm stepping forward. let's resolve this. And to the ones that always seem to be there, thank you soooo much. You are worth your weight in gold, diamonds and fertilizer, lol.
