For a well reasoned debate on the hedgehog issue why not start a new newsgroup uk.rec.hedgehogs and then uk.rec.gardening can address what it is supposed to? I can understand the cross-posting to uk.rec.birdwatching, uk.rec.natural-history and uk.environment.conservation but slightly OT for gardening.

Sounds like a good idea to me. The endless number of vitreolic messages losely
related to hedgehogs is irritating and of little relevant to this group. I've
ended up adding several people to my blocked senders list as a result.

in the title for ages!

Ditto for uk.rec.walking where the relevance is approaching zilch.
But it's given us a bit of a larf, you know.

Where are you waving from?

Any good 'ejog recipes?


hehe... uk.rec.gardening. You?

The chances of making a deep fire in the garden to cook them covered in mud
are bleak atm. Can I bring them over to you??

All a bit mad all this cross posting.

O :)

I am trying to exterminate all the buttercups in my lawn.

Do you think this will attract a crowd of protestors if the news gets out?

The message
from Rodney Blackall contains these words:

"Name and address withheld"

You really haven't got the hang of trolling, have you, Rodney?
