As it happens, IMO the OP
needed to be persuaded to rebuild her bonfire, but that's unlikely
to happen now.

What makes you think that? The OP should have learned that
hedgehogs are in peril generally, and taking steps to avoid
killing them in her garden is, as you say, 'a good thing'.

Because the OP gave no indication of having taken cogniscance of
the very sound advice which had already been offered to her by Alan
Holmes - as quoted below. But merely acknowledged my somewhat whimsical
suggestion, that she should play loud music beside the intended bonfire

Light the bonfire in a different place and feed the new bonfire from
the old heap, I don't think it's wise to build a huge heap then set
light to it, you do not know how quickly, or slowly, it will burn,
apart from the problem of any animals which may have taken up residence.

This is UseNet and you are of course free to do exactly as you
wish and post whatever you wish within reason. Despite what other
people may try and tell you to the contrary. However in my own case
I would be most obliged if you took the trouble to read the thread
before asking detailed questions about particular posts of mine, as
the meaning is often dependent on the context. And my time is
just as valuable as yours, I would imagine.

Alan Holmes' was by far the best suggestion and contibution to
the thread IMO, something which you yourself and everyone else appear
to have ovelooked. As is often the case on UseNet of course.
