Hi - I'm new to the group - can you fill me in on what I can expect,
what protocol I should follow, etc? Thank you. :)

Start by telling me how you posted from a 192,0,0,0 network?

Drop Google and tune out?

Interesting. Is Google now anonymizing the posting IP of it's users?

When did that start?

Just try to follow correct usenet posting style when you post replies.

As I am doing now, compose your replies by quoting only the relavent
portions of previous posts, use in-line quoting as necessary, and always
bottom-post (not top-post).

Do not be a top-poaster or full-quoter.

As for what you can expect, there really isin't a lot of traffic in this
newsgroup, and even less currently seeing as it's now winter in the
northern hemisphere of this planet.

You're as clueless about Usenet as you are about lawns.

*Always* doing either is wrong.

Unless what you have to say is relevant to the full quoted text.

No!! The posting IP is from "non-routable IP addresses", best I can
tell.

I was thinking spammer or similar.

In crafting the header, Google has substituted one of it's own internal
LAN address's in place of the poster's real, external IP address.

Just as it always has done for out-bound gmail email.

According to your time zone, you are in Great Britain right?
The usual net protocols apply, even for Europeans.
It is usually beneficial for you to indicate your location (as I have
done below), so that you may receive the best answers as apply to you.
Don't forget, Australia and New Zealand are in the Summer now.

Arg. Yes, you're right.

I looked at the 192.203 ip address and assumed it was a non-routable
internal LAN address.

And what a stinking hot summer we're into! No decent rain here in SE
Queensland (+2 hours drive North of Brisbane) since June. Buying water for
our rainwater tanks and the gardens are dead because the dam is dry!

"When the soil moisture experiences wide swigs in moisture (wet to dry)
that is when the plant has a hard time picking up calcium. To prevent
this condition you need to water so soil moistures stay fairly constant
or better yet use some type of mulch over the bed to even out soil
moisture levels. This is the best way to prevent blossom end rot. "
