    I have just noticed something. Whereas most members get their description of the action of moving seedlings from a seed tray to small pots automatically corrected to "thorning out", some members seem to be above that law :th scifD36: :heehee:

    Not naming any names nor pointing fingers :whistle:

      The whole thing is incredibly cretinous anyway, you shouldn't exclude perfectly valid horticultural terms. :frown:

          Well, someone has very sensibly excluded it from the profanity filter now, apparently! :yes:

          :ThankYou:

            I have or had no problems with pricking out either. :biggrin: Perhaps it depends on which browser you use?

                    Years ago, when my company still had pet food business, I had some hard time to get a file from my vendor to me as the security system told me that the file may contain profanities.

                    The vendor carefully went through the file, tried again and again but it didn't get through.

                    It turned out that the mentioning of a female dog was too much for our filters. Not very efficient if you are talking dog food business. :biggrin:

                        I guess they are cracking yolks on that thread?
