Excuse you what? Perhaps I misread the intent and tone of your response, but i don't feel that's the case. I first posted gratitude for being a great asset to this forum and mentor to many fellow growers, then asked a question and you answer it like you're rolling your eyes on top of a pedestal. If I was working with seeds I wouldn't have asked the question. You've obviously eluded to the fact that it can be done in past posts, I was simply seeking clarification on where cut should occur for these circumstances. No worries though, I received helpful answers from other members.
A polite answer may have looked something like this: Well this method certainly provides more predictable results when used on a plant started from seed, but if you plan to try on a clone, I would recommend cutting just above the 2nd ______ (opposing or alternating) node. Or just a one word reply of "alternating" or "opposing" would have sufficed.
I guess in the end if you didn't want to answer a question, simply don't answer it. If you do, great. Nobody is obligated to answer another person's question, but when a person is showing gratitude for past information you've shared and acknowledging a helpful thread I would at least think if you do decide to answer, that it wouldn't be a quick supercilious, disdainful remark.
Regardless of this trivial group of posts I do still respect you for what you've given the MJ community and harbor no animosity.
