If it's your intent to wreck rec.gardens, congrats - you'e doing a

Yes, lovely attack as usual.

Kate - apologies to the group. Long day.

There's something about this that seems to bring the loonies out of
the woodwork. Hard to figure. You could post about mugging old
ladies and no one would comment. Post about spending time and money
trying to help animals and they start howling.

City newspapers occasionally run stories on the local wildlife rescue
people, and you wouldn't believe some of the vitriolic hate mail that
usually follows in the wake. "Your money should be going to ----
instead" (from people who obviously don't donate their own money to
anything) ...and even people saying that the animals should all be
euthanized (like the first nasty reply in this thread). Hard to
comprehend.

It's usually balanced out by nicer, saner people such as yourself. So
thanks for that.

I'm not a gardener, so this was probably a one-time (innocent)
question for me. Sorry to see what's going on with your newsgroup.
