Many thanks to group members for the clarification. The FAQ that I tried to
visit was an old one.
I'm keen not to upset anyone by appearing to be spamming or transgressing
rules or the spirit of the newsgroup. Point re HTML also noted.

In answer to your question:

Our product is flexible to fit even the tightest bends or radii.
It is strong, polypropylene that comes in 5m and 50m lengths.
On the down side, it lies level with the surface of the lawn.
As a consequence my blackbirds also scrape the bark onto lawns and driveways



Well you managed to fail to spam, and for that I commend you. My
newsreader snipped the stuff I'd already read and assumed that you were
commenting on stuff *above* where you'd posted. Inline comments seem to
work more flexibly on usenet instead of chucking all your stuff at the
top. A little more time in usenet and this group will probably sort out
that final bit of etiquette.

Brief critique of your website. It works in Mozilla so you haven't
alienated those not using IE (many plus points there).

There's a picture of your product in place on the first page a brief
check tells me it is
http://www.smartedge-scotland.co.uk/pic1.jpg . I
noticed it took some time to display. I was viewing your page down an
8192Kb/s connection, broadband users will usually have 512Kb/s (16 times
smaller) and dial up viewers around 40Kb/s/ That picture will not turn
up on a dial up user's screen until some 4 mintues after they've
accessed the page (assuming they bother to wait). The current file size
is 556KB.. with a bit of work based on the size you wish it to show at,
I can't see why you couldn't reduce that to 25KB or so. You seem to have
managed that on the images page to a certain extent (and folk would be
more forgiving of larger sizes there.)
