seed beggar = Someone who comes onto the seed swap and begs for seeds.

They must be some very weird and desperate people if they beg for seeds. Okay another dumb (maybe dumber) question - are the seed beggars going to grow the seeds or are the seeds going to waste?

Who knows?

He came on as Dave something, got short shrift, then came back as someone else, got the same again - I think both were deleted - then came back as helena! thinking that we would be nicer to a lady [most likely] still begging for the same seeds [doh]. Then because people were saying it was rude, has rejoined and made comments about gardening, I suppose trying to make some friends, in order to re-beg seeds at a later date.

I'm sure we'd all help out someone struggling, but to come straight out with seed begging is rude.

It wouldn't have been noticed or commented upon if they were offering to swap. I've swapped seeds before and never had any back from the person - and still waiting on some that were promised a while ago - but hey ho. then again, I'm also waiting to dig some up that I promised other people, but I have emailed a holding PM saying i hadn't forgotten. It's all swings and roundabouts in the end.

As I said before weird. Well you learn something new everyday I'm used to spammers from a different forum I am on but never expected it on this forum. I guess the blighters get everywhere.

Just what I was about to say!

I have also begged for seed but I am not ashamed!

You might be interested to know that you can get 'hacked or trojened' whilst on-line and your computer used to send spam. Proper spam that is, to people's addresses not to forum threads.
Hapenned to me recently but then in this part of the world it is rife.

I thought you were refering to a new breed of carnivourus hamster!

LOL, I thought Spamster was a generalized term it popped into my head. This is the only forum I attend and I love it here but those eejits just throw in a spanner sometimes. And they weren't even interesting ones.

Mods on here are brill and anything we can do to help make their lives easier is a good thing and obviously appreciated - good on ya guys and gals
