Re: Rant
What??? We're not savages??? Speak for yourself! Just kidding- I agree 100%. Though I am very happy with those that do participate, I think there could be more participation from the membership-at-large. Some people just don't get into posting. Not much we can do about it.

Re: Rant
I'm new to the banana gig and if I don't post I read and I am learning. This is a very valuable site for me, lots of great folks here, so as I continue to get my feet wet in this neighborhood I will post on occaision, but more importantly I am gaining knowledge and maybe thats what lots of folks are doing. I think some folks may be shy or even afraid to put themselves out there, sort of like when you move into a new neighborhood, you kind of stick to yourself for a bit until you know your way around.

Reminds me of Ber Rabbit and the Tar Baby! This is a great site but like Ber Rabbit it does get to you when you get no response!

Re: Rant
Thank you Paulo,
I, at the fear of sounding 'DUMB', attempt to converse and contribute what little I know, not worrying in comparison to what the 'Great Brains' here know. I am not here for the 'Great Brains', or the thousands of members, I am here for the knowledge that lies within this interactive Forum as a whole, drawing what knowledge I can, share what knowledge I have and develop and pass it on to my children and interested others. If I don't ask and research, I can't find out, if I don't risk sounding/looking stupid...how can anyone help me, correct me or point me down the right path? For me - to develop friendly and professional relationships from the Org is just a plus!! ((Removed Rant)) Thank you for this Org & for the opportunity to share what I can & draw from the knowledge/contributions of others that choose to share and interact!!! You all are great!!! ~Cheryl "Those who think they know it all have no way of finding out they don't.." — Leo Buscaglia "Each of our acts makes a statement as to our purpose." — Leo Buscaglia

Re: Rant
No one should hold back on asking a question for fear of sounding "dumb". That's how we all learn. We ALL started out as newbies at one point. I do think that most of our members here are very accomodating when it comes to answering questions of new-comers. I certainly don't feel as if I know all there is to know about growing bananas, but I enjoy sharing what I do know and I still learn something new on here almost every day.

Re: Rant
Since its an open thread,
I think that I had enough knowledge of The genus Musa when I became active that I was more waiting for times when I can answer culture Questions and comment on Members photos. I know alt of "big time" members and my goal is for me to contribute to become respected around here. So many great people contribute so much I want to become one. I hope new members post their questions and people who just hang around would say thanks for the read or useful info. Hey i post sometimes post to say thanks also. alex |

Re: Rant
how about somebody answering new questions posted...including mine?
forums are good for several things...social, informational, political, etc... as a new member,...show me why i should be a contributor...what you need, other than to shame others,...and what could be collaborative... you'll get more from a membership by inviting with some sophistication rather than making the readers feel bad or pissed at your arrogance... |

jjjankovsky - I'm sorry if you feel we have been rude or dismissive. I'm sure no-one would intentionally upset you and I feel most members here are very helpful. How can we help you now?
