The message
from Chris Bacon contains these words:

I have looked at that site, even subscribed to
see what it's like - seems fine, and there is an "abc fo
newcomers to uk.rec.gardening. Please read before posting
to this group" which gives a link to the Charter, various
FAQs, and gives useful and accurate tips "to help you if
you are not familiar with newsgroups".

That message originates in urg, not gardenbanter. It's been posted
here every week since years before gardenbanter existed, and widely
ignored in both locations.
