You obviously have a hang-up about rules, Mick.  I really think you
should read the kind of reply which would have been much more
appropriate, and polite.  It is in this thread, and was sent by David -
it got the message about the 'rules' through and didn't resort to
rudeness.

Hope that's the end of the matter.  It's a shame that the gardening
newsgroup has to entertain such aggressive outbursts.
