FAQ-Bulb Forum Outline 10-14-2010
Comments (12)does this forum include cyclamen or is there another forum where I can post a question? I think here is as fine as anyplace to cover them in the FAQ. or to ask about them. For the time being I just noted/added cyclamen at the bottom of the outline. I've also got crinum so thanks for the note about crinum being included in the amaryllis forum. Before doing a search on Crinum, all I knew was that they were not hardy here. That was when I saw they were of the Amaryllidaceae family, thus thought The Amaryllis Forum would be better off handling the FAQ (if anyone volunteers and they agree to it), and to field questions there. As usual though, anyone can ask about anything they want at any forum...within reason of course...like not at Home Decorating or something...lol. Glad to see the section on critters! I figure you can provide a lot of good input on that, especially if 'your' Sun Disc daffodils come up and bloom in some strange places next spring. If ornamental Allium is refered to the Allium-forum then their introduction needs to be changed. At least the last time I looked the forum was described to be for growing onions and garlic. Their forum blurb reads: This forum is for the discussion of plants of the genus Allium, such as onions, garlic, leeks, shallots & scallions. I agree, that it would best be changed to include Ornamental Allium/Flowering Onions. I don't think that any bulb must be asked about on any one 'specific' forum as there are sometimes numerous forums where one can find the answers....for example, if lily questions don't get needed replies at The Lily Forum, it is fine to ask here. Canna are sometimes asked about here, though there is a Canna Forum, so members here can provide info but also suggest that more info can be found at The Canna Forum. In doing a search here on Canna I see there are 122 threads, so will touch on them as well in the FAQ, with reference then to the Canna Forum and the great Canna FAQ there. And with the tulips I think it is important to have one (sub?)section for garden hybrids and another section for botanical tulips. I agree and tulips will be rather extensive, sort of like the daffodils, since they are asked about so much. Then there are the tulips that are more like perennials than annuals. This FAQ is turning out to be quite a beast, but 'should' end up pretty good with everyone's input....See MoreFAQ pages
Comments (1)Apologies for misposting this as a new post, it should of course, have been posted below the existing thread of the same name. John....See MoreHarvest Forum FAQ
Comments (8)I'm going to be wishy-washy. I also have thought that a FAQ would be great. But then I've thought - what would be any different about a FAQ than what's found in my BBB? I think the answer to that question comes down to exactly what Kay said, it's the subleties in the questions. People (usually) ask a question because they think that the answers found in BBB do not, for some reason, apply to the particular situation in question. Does that make sense? So I would be inclined to think the same would happen with a FAQ. If a person reads it (and that can be a big if), they will think that their specific question is not answered, so they will go ahead and ask. On the other hand, I would love love love an easily accessible compendium of tried and true recipes. I have often found myself wanting to do something new and thinking "hmmm, I know I saw that discussed a year or so ago, let's see if I can find it". Sometimes I can find it, sometimes not. Finally, I wholeheartedly agree with Kay and jt - those of you who answer the same questions (or variations of) over and over and over are awesome. Your patience and kindness, not to mention your knowledge, are wonderful and make this my favorite forum. Ann...See MoreRe: Computer Help FAQ Page
Comments (48)Here again. :>) Interesting to see how the Computer Help forum has made such lasting impressions on the users, even though those impressions are varied. About Spike: I very much appreciated the way he ran the forums. They were his, and he had every right to make the rules; just as we made rules for our family. My first venture on the web shocked me when I saw the foul language that was used on different sites. Spike's rules included no profanity, and "no religious or political" comments, and yet some posters came up with these ridiculous ways to get around that. Remember pr@yers, and G@d? d@mn, and carp? So juvenile! As Bob said, being sent to Disney wasn't done on a first offense, but multiples could get you banned. I had no problem paying the $15 (and I believe at first it was only $10) and never understood why some others did. There were those who cried hard times and "just could not afford it." What? They could afford to buy a computer, and pay for the internet, and their cigs and Pepsies, but not for all the help they got here? Somewhere I have a picture of Spike and his wife, that was taken at a KT Gathering. It was posted and I copied it. Anyway, here are some of the things I found in my box of scratch paper. On one piece of paper was even part of an email to Ken about a problem I was having with Gmail. It is dated February 22, 2006, and has his email address. He wished me Good Luck! Check these out, if you are interested. I think they are all still good. http://www.vmirror.com/copyrght.html http://www.glyphs.com/forums/load/cafe/msg0911545711181.html http://www.vmirror.com/ http://www.e-zine-list.com/ezines/027/4029.shtml http://www.glyphs.com/forums/load/cafe/msg0911545711181.html Sue...See Moresierraeast
