The message
from "Miss Perspicacia Tick" contains these words:

- just thought, damned good thing there
isn't another bit to the hierachy - oh I don't know
botany.uk.rec.gardening - ... ;o))

Wrong hierarchy, then - this is the uk one. Everything starts with 'uk',
and you have just uk, as in uk.misc and you have the extensions such as
uk.adverts, uk business, uk.comp, uk.culture, uk.current-events, uk.rec,
uk.politics, uk.science and a lot more.

Then these get more specific and another (and another) layer is added -
uk.rec.trainspotting.carriages.pullman.guards-vans.anorak etc etc.
(Don't go looking for that group !)

There's probably a uk.science.botany though...
