Ron,
I'm sorry you've been offended, but I think *you* will find this
message was *not* SPAM - I am offering plans on the web to *help*
garden pond owners, I'm not trying to sell anything, it was a single
message, and it was not off-topic, so therefore, it cannot be classed
as SPAM (check the definition at
http://spam.abuse.net/overview/whatisspam.shtml if you need to).
I don't need to see it again, thank you

Please be more careful when flaming, and don't forget that there is a
real person on the other end of a message (mostly).

If you think that was a flame you should get out more.

Your web site contains recommendations for commercially available
products, including an advert linking to a recommended supplier,
product information and price lists.

That's spam.
That's unsolicited commercial advertising .

Take out the ads and price lists and stockists and it's not spam

That's constructive comment.

Regards
