I have not counted the amount of OT threads here in URG, but find
that there is
less and less about gardening !

Other gardening groups are also short of on-topic material for whatever
reason, but in the main they do not try to fill up with off-topic posts.

In this case, nor did we: both these threads are splurged across a wide
swathe of usenet.
