    Agreed, @Uff - diversity of experience, questions, perspectives are great too.

    It's fascinating to hear from regular readers we know nothing of. Thanks for delurking to comment, especially if you are not very socially inclined.

    If you have any questions about the nuts and bolts of how the forum works (how to post, quote, put up images, search) this is a good place to ask. As @punkdoc says there are no daft questions.

    But daft answers can be fun too!
    Seriously an answer from someone in a similar situation to something you've experienced can be of more help than  from an experienced gardener who has never come across the problem in reality.

    Sometimes the questions are much more interesting than the answers.

    I’ve been on Trip Advisor and Quora. I don’t know whether you’d call some questions there daft but they’re certainly their first cousins.

    :D
  • Completely agree with posters who've said this is a friendly forum. I've certainly asked some daft questions, and the nice people on here have just 'rolled' with my ignorance and offered sensible solutions.

    I'm slightly dyslexic and terrified of using the wrong word and upsetting someone. I notice when someone uses the wrong word/spelling, and it's delightful that not one person has elevated themselves to be the grammar police. 

    It would be nice though to have feedback about poster's problems, eg: Did a suggested remedy work? Did they find what they were looking for? Did the plant die?

    It is lovely when folk come back and show us a happy outcome (and lots do 😊) … or even give us a second chance to solve a knotty problem 😊
