I wonder, WAV, if the resistance that you believe you encountered on your UK forums to the promotion of native plants, was actually reaction to the holier-than-thou certainty that you know the way, the truth, the light, of your tone.

I second Spaw and Bee. I don't think it was unintentional, however. There's a preachy element in the various posts I've perused from this member, which is why I don't read or post on his threads. I was lured into this one by the gardening topic, but repulsed by the dogma (not to be confused with spirituality).
