This is not a site it is a newsgroup.

If it smells like dog crap, it is probably a female Ginko tree. They have very distinctive triangular leaves. It is a very ancient tree. Take a look here:

It may not be particularly important, but it's a fact, this is a newsgroup, not a website. Why let such a simple fact mess you up?

The message from stltrees contains these words:

Gardenbanter provides a portal to usenet, where newsgroups live. You don't see the whole group because gardenbanter moderates posts they don't like.

Think of it like this, we're all at home watching TV, with satellite, digital and a remote control which enables us to pick exactly what we want to see. Gardenbanter members are like homeless people standing on the street looking through a shop window at the TV program someone else selected, you haven't got a remote to control your view and can't actually hear the sound track. So you don't even know that Travis sings all his posts in a wonderful baritone.

editing replies so that you only reply to the other person's salient point(s) is normal on usenet.

I did not snip anything. I fully quoted your message.

I didn't know there were so many homeless people connected to the internet. Must have one of those fancy web enabled cell phones.

Could it be Ginkgo biloba?

There you go.

Have they been in the news lately?

Ginkgo was my first thought! Because of the smell of the fruit, my daughter's friend used to call them "stink trees." And interestingly, they don't usually start to bear until they're @ 20 years old or so.

Yes, and I would add it is the female of this tree that is the problem. The male has no such fruit and makes a very nice parkway tree.
