It'll probably be one with "SNAKES" in the title.... (:-))
also would have been helpful if you informed us where *here* is


If anyone reading my post is too stupid to figure out that since I'm
asking a question about snakes in the Australian garden group and so
must be interested in Australian snakes then they are clearly too
stupid to give a cogent response.


With due respect, that was an uncalled for response!


It was rather grumpy

At last look, Australia was a land of some 3000km by 2700 km (I won't
argue discrepancies in these figures)
And! there were different species of animals and reptiles in different
areas.


That's true but I think the question was starting with a generalisation
about info on any snakes of the continent, if their behaviour was greatly
different it could come out in the detail

Methinks the responders question was quite reasonable and definitely
did not deserve such a reply from OP.


There was fault on both sides.

In my opinion the only one who
could be considered stupid would be .... well I'll leave that open
to interpretation ;-0

Like the many thousands of usenet posters from the USA who never identify
which continent they are on because there is only one that matters. And who
get confused by it being hot in January in some parts of the world and who
want to argue that the sunny side of the garden is the south because
anything else is so counter-intuitive. For quite a while there were
wikipedia articles that gave planting instructions in months of the year, ie
plant out your eggplant in April-May rather than in spring after the last
frost.

I am not saying one lot of parochialism excuses another but that the world
would be better with less than the current plethora.
