Please excuse the delay in responding to Elaine's attack, I've been
away attending the funeral/memorial of a close family friend...

First of all, I did not claim I "couldn't suppress disease". I asked
a question to the list regarding leaves not defoliating. Period.
Nothing about disease. Nothing about whether or not testing is
necessary.

For the record, of all my tests conducted at SFI, only one was, at
the worst, questionable - it was explained to me by Curt that the
protozoa were so high, they were eating everything else. Elaine, I
don't know what you're trying to get at or why you feel it necessary
to publicly attack me. I'd bet everyone has had at least one "bad"
result. The majority of my test results from SFI showed "Excellent".

With that being said, this discussion needs to go no further on the
list unless you would like to apologize for your inflammatory and
unfounded inferences.
