That sounds lovely, actually.
You are posting on a very old part of the internet, that predates the
www. It's called Usenet, or sometimes just "news." You can find out
about it with google or for example at 'Usenet.com :: Usenet Information
Center' (http://www.usenet.com). 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.

Sorry guys - this all seems a bit complicated for me!
It is a lovely garden - though hard work - and very peaceful, especially
with all the birdsong at this time of year.
I think I'll just stop messing about on the computer and go and enjoy
it.
Enjoy your gardening
Ta. But don't go away!
