Jaques, mon cher ami...

Total misunderstanding.

I posted a reply to the NG - in fact the reply should have been cross posted
to the three NGs listed in the original post.

These were shown in the BG response I posted.

However the posted response has not appeared in uk.rec.gardening nor in
uk.net.news.config.

As I stated in the OP, I have voted. (Just got the confirmation back).

I was puzzled over the failure of my post to appear.
