I know not strictly Roda related, but it is easy to grow so many things here with the amazing climate. My streptocarpus's were given to me as a gift from a friend. In the UK they are an indoor plant, generally, as they are from South Africa originally. We left ours in a sheltered spot during our return to the uK and came back to find the gardener had been over zealous with the asvesti white wash. It doesn't sem to have done them any harm and here they are flowering their socks off on our north facing balcony.

difficult to reply when you have no idea what the answer is. He just disappeared from the forum at the same time as a few other people. It happens all the time.

No idea what the first part of the comment means but obviously there was a reason which you are clearly aware of having spoken to Pete, other users of the forum dont have this infomation and why can't admin just disappear? like anyone else they can do as they please which is what happened here I assume.

As smg suggests, the decision to ‘disappear’ was entirely Pete’s. I can’t share the reasons with you because I was never told what they were.

Well I am pleased your query has been resolved. As a public forum it is quite reasonable for people to come and go for whatever reason. Admin or not I see no need for them to announce to all their reasoning behind their decision. I am quite sure there was a major difference of opinion which you are well aware of and you are merely trying to stir the pot and provoke a reaction. Good luck! I will continue to use the forum for my own reasons which are extremely boring, I like to feel I am still a little part of Roda when I am not there, I like to know what has opened, closed, moved etc etc etc What are your reasons for being here Saint. If it is so important to know why people no longer contribute then it must be just as important to know why they do...

I’m glad that this exchange is seen for what it is, twistybird, but surprised to see that John is now sleeping with the enemy! The only difference of opinion that I was ever aware of concerned the importance of the British pub to the ongoing success of Roda. A healthy discussion ensued, which is what the forum is here for.

Yes I assumed that thread was the start of the exodus! Last time I checked we all valued freedom of speech, some obviously do not. Nothing wrong with a healthy debate. Anyway I should retreat back to my dark pool and wait for the trout to rise...

In reply to twistybird's reasons for using this forum they are exactly my reasons for still "dipping my toes in the water" so to speak. I spend many happy times keeping up with the coming and goings of my second home. (dream on!!). JackieM

We have met, John - about six or seven years ago talking to Spiros in the Harbour Bar one evening. For clarification, before he chose to leave the forum and in his role as a trusted administrator, your new best friend was constantly pressing me to ban you for being mischievous and offensive ... if I were to repeat his words here, I would have to ban myself! I’m glad you’ve kissed and made up ...

WOW .PETE SANT GOES FROM HERO TO ZERO IN YOUR MYOPIC VIEW. I WONDER IF YOU WOULD POSSIBLY KISS AND MAKE UP WITH HIM UNLIKELY BECAUSE YOU AVOID HIM AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY. I DO NOT RECALL MEETING YOU [IWONDER WHY] MAYBE I WAS ONE OF THE ENGLISH TOURISTS WHO WOLFED DOWN THEIR FOOD TO ENABLE ME TO DRINK BEER OR YOU COULD HAVE BEEN THE TYPE OF PERSON THAT ESCAPES MY MEMORY PROBABLY THE LATTER .ANYWAY I NOW WITHDRAW FROM THIS BATTLEFIELD TO LICK MY WOUNDS BEING SAVAGED BY A SHEEP IS PAINFUL BEYOND THE EXTREME AND JUST TO CLOSE SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY MUST BE A PAINFUL PHRASE FOR YOU TO USE. PLEASE USE YOUR [ASSUMED] POWER AND CLEAN OUT THE AEGEAN STABLES IE BAN ME BLAME IT ON PETE. FORGIVE THE CAPS I JUST NOTICED GOODNIGHT FROM ME AND GOODNIGHT FROM HIM ..
