Please reread the charter. Franz Relevant section of charter from http://www.usenet.org.uk/uk.rec.gardening.html Advertising Advertising is not welcome, with the following exceptions: Suppliers of UK-relevant gardening equipment, services or plant material may post a pointer to their website or invitation to request a catalogue. This may not exceed four lines. This may be posted no more often than once every three months. The subject line should begin "AD" or "ADVERT". Participants in discussions may include references to their garden-related business in their .sig (max. four lines). ----- Anne would appear to be right apart from the fact it is three months not one month as she stated. Otherwise the advert is relevant to the group, has "Advert" as the subject line and is only 4 lines long. I haven't bothered searching to see if it has been advertised before in the last three months as it's not really worth the hassle. It's a fairly innocuous advert and may well be of interest to some people in the group, the poster also seems to have tried to follow the rules of the news group which he should be given credit for. It's certainly not worth getting your knickers in a twist about, save that for the trolls. As a response to the original advert: yes the gif does need a bit more work though the pendulum fountain itself looks quite amusing. (Oh and that menu is fairly annoying...) Andrew |

I download all the articles in a newsgroup, including spam, and read them in order.
