my questions applied because they didnt involve outdoor gardening so i didnt
want to post too many semi-off topic things. i know thats silly.

Not silly. You have to have a thick skin in newsgroups. In some more
so than others. Yes, rec.gardens *does* deal with houseplants, as
you've seen. People will also post replies to questions that more
properly belong in rec.gardens.edible, .roses, .orchids, etc. To test
the (newsgroup, not tap) water, you can check Google groups and look
at topics discussed.
