Thank you very much Elaine for your kind and
considerate thoughts on this subject.
Your participation in this group is very much
appreciated. You keep us on the data trail, and if anything, we need to prove,
scientifically, the how's and why's of compost tea. Thank you.
Now, please, back to the tea.

I agree that the gross generalizations about
nationalities should be avoided. I didn't appreciate the crack about
typical Americans always pushing products. I don't think there really is
a typical American, and most of us aren't salesmen.
There are only one
or two people on this list that push product without being asked by someone
about their product. If you have a problem with a person doing that, ask
Jeff privately about doing something about that person. Perhaps they
just need to realize that the product pushing is not appreciated. Or
perhpas Jeff can help you see that the "product pusher" was responding to a
clear question about their product. Or they were asked a question that
their product would work for.
But it is clear and
straightforward communication that is needed. No sniping. Do not
degrade someone who disagrees with you, or has an alternate point of
view. They have a reason for their views, and to move ahead, we need to
share those views, not be rude about a different point of view.
If anyone doesn't like me talking about how to take samples, or how to
measure microorganisms in tea, please express that opinion to me
directly. I will likely respond by saying that I don't often push doing
work with SFI, unless directly asked how something should be measured.
But if I'm being too blatant, I'll do my best to stop. Just please, let
me know.
I can be dense and blind about things sometimes,
and instead of someone stopping communication with me, I need to have things
explained to me.
OK?
