That sounds lovely, actually.

You are posting on a very old part of the internet, that predates the

about it with google or for example at Usenet.com :: Usenet Information Center. Many people
don't like sites like GBanter because they steal content and repost
without permission.

You are on the group uk.rec.gardening.

To access Usenet directly you need a news server, I use
news.individual.net which costs 10 EU a year but removes most spam
messages quite effectively. There are also many free news servers. You
can also access Usenet via google, although it is a rather difficult
interface I find.
