Records.......has anyone ever kept a record of the longest UK gardening
thread?

At a guess it was either about leylandii, cats, racoons in the corn, or
US zones.........................

Those would probably be in the lead for the number of threads started,
but the longest single continuous thread I can recall in urg was 'A
Philosophical Approach' in 1996/7[IIRC]. Another long one around that
time was the great Charter debate, though that split into several other
threads and finally fell apart.


"It should be borne in mind that there is nothing more difficult to
arrange, more doubtful of success, and more dangerous to carry through
that initiating changes in a state's constitution."
