Er...just so you know.."here" is not gardenbanter's website. It's a
usenet newsgroup called uk.rec.gardening, which has absolutely nothing
whatever to do with gardenbanter.

There's a weekly help post called abcfor newcomers, which will help
you get the best out of the newsgroup.

Exactly what is the meaning of 'gardenbanter'...

www.gardenbanter is a website which acts as a portal to this
newsgroup (and others). Its members read urg on the gb website, and
often appear to mistakenly think urg is a website forum or message
board; or an advisory service provided by gardenbanter.

There are significant differences between a website forum/message
board and a usenet group. For instance, urg is unmoderated,
non-commercial, is a text-only discussion group, (mostly) conforms to
usenet posting conventions, many of its posters provide a valid private
email address, and the vast majority show a valid isp in their full
post-headers.

Gardenbanter's forums are moderated, conceal posters' private email
addresses and isp, and don't conform to usenet posting conventions.
AFAIK they also permit pictures and paying banner adverts.
