I've noticed a few posts on this forum relating to subjects that have
nothing to do with garden banter. Is it not removed?

This is uk.rec.gardening, which is a Newsgroup, part of Usenet the original
internet. Take a look around Outlook Express and you may well find the word
newsgroup, have a play and you may actually find URG and 10s of thousand of
other newsgroups.
You will need your ISP's newsgroup server address which is usually easily
obtainable from your ISP (except for Wanadoo) with instructions on how to
set up your PC.
A whole world awaits.
