Does any one know of a nursery that deals in tree heathers I have tried to no avail to find a nursery but up to date have had no success

Billit - sorry, this is off topic, but I hope it is helpful - when you start a new thread, there's a box at the top which says 'title'. If you put something in this box, eg "tree heather nursery", your post and all the answers appear with this phrase as a title. Some people don't read all the posts, only those that they are interested in, and putting a title describing what you are asking about is a good way of encouraging a response from people who know something about the topic.

I suggest you contact The Bannut garden in Worcs/Herefordshire. I
visited there a few weeks ago on a 3 day trip with our garden club and
the couple who own it, Maurice and Daphne were very welcoming. There are
lots of heathers - not surprising as Daphne was one of the country's top
heather people before taking on The Bannut. They are a very friendly and
helpful couple and I'm sure that Daphne will be more than happy to
direct you in your quest for tree heathers. I know of nobody more
qualified.

See http://www.bannut.co.uk for contact details. This isn't a commercial
as AFAIR they don't sell plants .... if they do, I didn't see them (but
they do great teas!).

Good luck!

repeated tellings).

But posting via gardenbanter doesn't suggest any expertise at
all!

If you feel the need to reply to a Billit posting, it's easy enough to
edit the Subject line (like my example above)

He's been told from the urg side of the fence - I thought it was worth one more try based on the specifics of knowing what the interface looks like from gardenbanter.

Do you know that he's a she, or are you assuming that based on obstreperousness?

Not necessarily - could just be the default of the newsreader, or been set
up by whoever installed it. *shrug*

I didn't reply to Billit; I replied to Kay, who wrote the post above
starting "Billit, sorry.." which you wrongly attributed to me.
The header was Billit; Kays post was to Billit, and my reply to Kay
was about Billit. No change of header required.

Sigh** so shoot me.

I make the point that you or anyone else, if you don't like the
Subject heading or don't think it's appropriate, just edit the bugger.

Yes it is. When you first register, there are a whole series of boxes to fill in (or not - they are mostly optional). X-no-archive is explained (and with an additional link to the wiki article), and even though the default is to archive, it's an easy option just to click the other button and set the no-archive option.

You can go back to your profile page at any time and change your settings if you wish.

Gardenbanter at the moment is honouring the no-archive by deleting posts after 14 days. Each of the posts which is not to be archived has a message to the effect that the author has specified x-n-archive and the post will be deleted in 14 days (this applies to both gb posts and usenet posts) so it isn't difficult to be aware of x-no-archive.

Incidentally, gb is now making it clearer that it is a portal to usenet (its strapline is "a web gateway to the finest gardening newsgroups") so although it doesn't help the fundamental problem, if you actually know about usenet, you should be clear about what gb is. It also posts up a paragraph of blurb every single time you post, telling you to snip and to mind the conventions of the newsgroup you are posting to.

That disrupts the group for everyone, especially inexperienced posters.

In what way?

Why? not all GB posters are trolls or idiots making drive-by posts.
Kay posts from GB, and has always been well worth reading.

Maybe you can educate Kay?

X-no-archive

Has GB retroactively honoured the X-no archive requests that were made
before GB had a change of policy?

Some people have enough trouble following a thread when its in one place.

Depending on your newsreader, changing the subject line won't split the
thread. I think it may do on google groups, but any 'sensible' newsreader
will be able to handle it.

I've only used sensible newsreaders )

As far as GB is concerned one has a choice either ignore posts from GB
or accept them and stop griping every time there is a new post from GB.
