Kay,

I've not intentionally done any top/bottom posting :-(. I simply read a
message using OE 6.0 and then hit "reply" if I want to respond to the post.

For my own education, please define "top" and "bottom" posting. I've seen
lots of discussions (OK, flame wars or rants) regarding this subject but not
come across a simple definition. For example, if I see the following
hierarchy displayed - who posted "bottom" and who "top"?

Hello - Fred
Hello - Jim
Hello - Bob
Hello - Audrey
Hello - Julie
Hello - Nigel
Hello - Paul
Hello - Zee

Thanks/sorry,
Paul DS

Thanks Nick,

One further question, since only the leaves are used, is there a way to
ensure a compact, bushy plant, albeit one that seeds and dies? I had
always
expected herbs to be somewhat low lying wheras this seems to be making a
bid
to be architectural!

It is low lying - it's only the flowering stems which push skywards.
Grow it fresh each year, and get rid of the old plants once they stop
flowering.

by the way - bottom posting is the convention in this group. Please
don't top post as it muddles the threads.
