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". I still prefer
posting directly, but - horses for courses.

The abc has nothing to do with Garden Banter. It comes from urg and
has done for ages. Garden Banter merely takes posts to urg and puts
them on their site. Those posters who request that their posts are not
archived may have a copyright issue with Garden Banter. The problem
with Garden Banter is not only the nerve of them in doing that but the
fact that GB msgs. are not always seen on this newsgroup, so the
messages go unanswered and the originals are not seen by some urglers
at all. I'm afraid that, as is all too common, Mike Crowe is being
deliberately misleading, trouble-making and disingenuous in asking this
question. You will now probably see a series of posts from him
excoriating some urglers and/or telling the group of the plants he saw
on his cruise and either 'recommending' them or asking questions about
them! Anything for the limelight.
Urglers - of which he is not one - encourage GB people to post direct
to urg so that their posts are seen by all and not missed by many.
