Oh dear. Thank you Geoff for repeating yourself. Now that I have the
message loud and clear, I shall take my ignorant self elsewhere as I
am completely overwhelmed by your intelligence.

As well you should be.

This has been an entertaining thread to observe........

Tree People UNITE! lol. Having committed hari kari and enjoying the
pleasure of being reborn, I, too, would like to vent some spleen: How
many of you encounter people who insist they want to reduce mature
trees by 50%? On the whole the clients that come our way are fairly
decent but, still, too many think it is perfectly fine to cut a fifty
foot tree in half. AND, they argue with me and my fellow comrades in
arms, by insisting that their experience says it is a perfectly
acceptable practice.
