The message
from Dave contains these words:

I would have replied earlier, but did not see your message contents. In
my computer (which is not a typical home computer, but a Sun Blade 2000
workstation running Solaris 10), with the Thunderbird mail client, the
font you used is very very faint. I could barely see the text.

You might want to check out if others have difficulty reading your
posts. Perhaps it is just me.

No problems here.

As I say, this is far from a typical home
computer, with its SPARC processor which could not run Windows even if I
wanted - which I don't!!

Can't think why not: everyone needs a little excitement - a crash here,
a blue screen there, the odd lock-up...

When I hit reply, with the expectation of your post appearing, it was
not readable at all. I'm not sure what the problem is..

Perhaps Solaris doesn't have that particular font in its armoury? It's
not down to Thunderbird.

Anyway, thank you for explaining this, and suggestion of Silver
Hedgehog. It sounds quite an attractive looking plant. I looked on the
internet and can get that very cheaply and easily, so I'll perhaps buy
one of them. Another option would be to buy several and fill the gap in
my hedge, but I rather want something to grow there quickly, and hollies
are not very fast growing. That said, I do like the security they offer.

Hollies aren't quick-growing?

Pull the other one!
