Searching for something about a speaker I can across a forum type web

anyone know anymore about this?

Ummmmmmm !
I don't really mind too much as URG is a public forum anyway.

BUT they might at least say it's URG !

It does however explain why we have been getting some 'strange postings of
late


I don't think that one can actually post on that site. They are just
displaying our messages.

Perhaps it's a tribute to us as we have the most civilised discussion
group on gardening. :-)


I only took a brief glance at that forum to see what was going on after
Janet emailed me. I'd like to know why they're doing this and if they get
any financial gain from it. Some of the people who post here are
professional and might object to their freely given advice to *URG* being
used to benefit others.
If it's merely distributing free advice to people in other countries, I
don't see a problem but I do think it's a cheek! Of course, the danger is
that some of the advice will be very inappropriate for those who read it in
another country and then that forum might have a problem on its hands from
irate and failed gardeners!
