First of all this is the header for UK Gardening section on Garden Banter

"(uk.rec.gardening) Based in the British Isles for gardening within those islands. Some are quite experienced gardeners, others are (or were when they first joined urg) complete beginners.

Default How to get onto urg
The message
from Rusty_Hinge contains these words:

Correction - any newsreader worth its salt will indicate newer bits by
indenting preceding blocks. Colour is non-compliant with Usenet
protocols.

Oops!

I suspect it is the newsreader rather than the writer which does this,
in which case it has nothing to do with protocols.

Having used a friend's reader once, I find the practice totally
counter-intuitive - and to some types of colour-blindnesses, I'd guess
that it might be a visual drawback.

Still, I suppose it's what you're used to. While my newsreader has
sprouted a lot more bells and whistles since it was first written, it is
to the first glance very similar to version 1.0

I think that there is a great deal of credit to uk rec gardening on the GB site.
