Thanks a lot, Janet... I'd never have noticed this otherwise... http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...3D Google%2BS earch is the whole thread http://tinyurl.com/385oq if the other one doesn't work... :-) This is the first email. The thread is worth reading, for those of you are in two minds... QUOTE................................. From: Gary [Torquay] ) Subject: [Proposal] alt.uk.allotments Newsgroups: alt.config Date: 2004-01-22 16:57:21 PST Here is a proposal for alt.uk.allotments on 23.1.2004 This group is designed to help other allotment holders to stay in touch across the UK for planting times, general planting methods and ideal pest control ect.. Iam a allotment holder for "South Parks" here in Torquay Devon. I have searched for a group of this kind but can not find it available. I feel that "alt.uk.allotments" would be popular group to discuss allotment issues. Many Thanks Gary Poston END QUOTE.............................. specifically *this* reply: QUOTE........................... From: BarB ) Subject: [Proposal] alt.uk.allotments Newsgroups: alt.config Date: 2004-01-23 14:09:18 PST Bring up your idea in uk.rec.gardening. If there's enough interest, you might have the votes to split off a sub group, perhaps name it uk.rec.gardening.allotments. Directions for that hierarchy are found at www.usenet.org.uk The config group is uk.net.news.config. Hierarchy: uk.* Country: United Kingdom Language: English Newsgroup(s): uk.net.news.announce(m), uk.net.news.config Email: URL(s): www.usenet.org.uk BarB END QUOTE........................ Now if he'd actually done what was suggested, ie brought up the idea and discussed it with us he may have had a lot better response... as it was, he just sprang the idea on us with no discussion. -- jane Don't part with your illusions.
