SPAM! The time to plant spring bulbs where I live is in the autumn --
October or November.

Rather amatuer spam methinks - I didn't see the aforementioned link.

That said are you under the impression that there are no northern hemishpere
spammers? I ask because I fail to see the logic in calling a post spam
because it's a different season where you live.

The cited link was missing from the original message. A quick search on
the phrase "Get into Gardening", however, reveals that it is a
commercial business based in the U.K. The original message in this
thread was posted via gardenbanter.co.uk. Thus, the originator and I
both have the same seasons at the same time.

Stranger than fiction!!!

Damn that Gardenbanter - I dare say they're leeching my messages to add to
their poxy site. Sad when you have to leech from usenet - what's the point
of having the site?

This causes a lot of confusion here as banterers are apt to assume that
everybody is in the UK.

That happens lots on usenet anyway - however it's usually Americans doing
that assuming.

So, that's that then. Think I'll go and plant some bulbs.
