[MPWG] Re: Poachers endanger Kentucky's ginseng

[Eric T. Jones]

I find it very disappointing that poorly written/poorly researched 
newspaper articles repeatedly get reposted on important lists such as the 
Medicinal Plant Working Group, a place where we need to be having 
discussions based on rigorous science and dependable observation.  Such 
repostings do little but spread misinformation and fear and make it harder 
for those harvesters that are truly dedicated to stewarding the 
resource.  Can we not have a higher standard and dispense with the propoganda?
