OMG, thanks for the laughs.

Also thanks for the inclusion in ya'lls community, so to speak.
Community, largely, has been subverted here and this is a really,
really bad thing and is something that we will find in the future we
will need and must rebuild if we hope to continue in a meaningful way.

It appears that many of us are finding community within usenet and this
group is nice in that everthing seems to be up for discussion, whilst
being centered around the soil.  Like Billy's description in r.g about
the garden fence.  Here you all are hanging over the fence, pickin'
dirt from under your nails, fartin' and talkin' about whatever seems
im****tant.  It's all related to growth, gardens...

Now, if'ns the youngsters will just pay heed to the wisdom of their
elders and drop off the sass. ;-)

Reminds me of an ancient grumpy gardener, beekeeper, and orchardsman I
knew long ago.  Clyde would often say, "Dammit boys, just shutup and
listen to me and ya might learn sumpthin' here!"  'Course he got dissed
a bunch about it when he said it. :-)

Yep, these youngun's are fer sure gonna miss us old farts when we pass.
