The message
from "Tumbleweed" contains these words:


You have to wonder why they ever invented sprays in the first place, surely
prior to their existence there was no need for them?


Perhaps for the same reason they invented hulahoops and plastic covers
for outdoor furniture; to persuade gullible people to part with their
money for no real benefit.


True, but I think you miss Tumbleweeds point that if pests disappear
by themselves when left alone, why was there ever any need to invent
pesticides?
