The message
from Geo contains these words:


I thought i`d introduce myself and be sociable
I`ve been looking for a gardening forum and finally came across a good
one that has a uk bit.
I`m located in lincs and have recently set about building a greenhouse
so i`ll have something to potter about in and experiment with now i`m
getting older.

It's a pity Gordon Brown didn't think of that...a free solar powered
greenhouse for every pensioner would save cold-weather payments, they
could make an income selling fresh produce and save their pensions
towards inheritance tax, and would hardly have time for joyriding up and
down the local high street on their buspasses.

The weather has slowed progress down but it`s getting there.
I have lots of ideas that are "out of the ordinary" and hope to use at
least some of them to get year round use of the greenhouse to grow
organic produce.

You've come to the right place

Just one thing..what you've stumbled on is not a forum. This is a
usenet newsgroup.You're away in a website, looking in on a completely
independent part of the internet called usenet, at a newsgroup called
uk.rec.gardening, (urg) which that crappy website dishonestly pretends
is part of itself. It also doesn't give you proper control over reading
and replying. If you really want to read urg online, you'll find
www.groups/google provides (free) a better service , the best
archive-search facility, and all the newsgroups you ever wanted. But the
slickest and most flexible way to enjoy usenet groups, is with a
newsreader, which is what most of us are using. There are plenty of free
ones...mine comes free from my isp zetnet.

Once you've got a newsreader, you can access a zillion more free
groups like this on every topic under the sun...another thing that
gardenbanter didn't want you to know about.

Janet.



Having been lectured to, by one of the not too cheerful or ever laughing net
nannies and 'owners' of the uk.rec.gardening newsgroup, welcome :-))
