<DIV><FONT size=2>I quite agree with WG, and shall try to stick to issues and
refrain from too much bragging about the fact that I can leap tall buildings in
a single bound, am stronger smelling than a steaming locomotive, and catch
a speeding bullet in my teeth. Also, while I usually don't drink beer, when I
do, I prefer horse-piss to XX. My mirror hath spoken. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I promise to try to respond honestly and directly to all posts
which require or stimulate a response, and shall endeavour to eschew all
digression irrelevant to the poster's point, and keep my responses mercifully
brief. I shall also try to K.I.S.S in the spirit of Einstein: ". . . as simple
as possible, but no simpler." </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I will try to follow the convention to posting a single issue
at a time, and will happily reform or correct upon notification by any of my
list brethren and sisteren should I stray from any of my promises. Consistent
with that policy, I also shall try to refrain from reading or responding to
extended or convoluted essays, particularly when they are repetitive.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I share WG's hope that these lists will become known as the
"go to" place for honest discussion of the leading-edge issues in plant
conservation. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>These statements are intended to apply to me only, and are not
intended in any way to demand, nay, even to suggest that others do likewise. I
remain quite open to suggestions for improvement. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>PS: Am I to understand correctly that, since responses to
previous posts have been either absent or non-responsive on this subject that
there is no interest in developing performance standards or in questioning those
that might be said to be traditional or widely accepted by the professions
concerned with plant conservation? Am I missing something, or is not such a
discussion central to the purpose of plant conservation? </FONT></DIV>

I suggest that those sincerely interested in “reaching out to the
public” begin by replying to that which has been previously ignored or
danced in recent response to list contributions? Ignoring actual issues
doesn’t make them go away and dancing subjects as opposed to discussing
them does little to foster productive discourse. Outmaneuvering those
attempting to stimulate discussions does even less. </SPAN></DIV>
