I am hearing good things about having snails in your pond.
What do you experts think ?
I am afraid that these things multiply like crazy and don't want them
getting into my vegetable garden or plants lining the pond.


Is this the first real pond post in days? I filter out all posts that
_don't_ have the word "pond" in their subject. How many am I missing?

Most. The group's doing quite well, actually. I have 337 valid posts over
10 days. I guarantee there are a good number of others that got
unfortunately blocked by my fairly simple filters.

I filter all cross-posts, anything from anonymous remailers, a few IPs, and
just a few specific posters (and I really think I could drop those rules -
the others take care of it) and I haven't seen a single non-pond post in
days. I refuse to put "pond" in the subject - besides the fact that it's
just as easy for the troublemakers to do it, you block out all the new
posters who come looking for help but don't know your rules.
