Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.

That all started with Don. Where have you been?

I can believe that. I guess you were asking for help with editing your
web site.

All I am saying is if Don has "nothing" to say, let him say it. Too
often it seems that your (you and Don) interaction boils down to a
****ing match over his putative degrees (I took a cursory look at
Humbolt States forestry program and didn't see biology, botany, zoology,
biology, or geology directly mentioned in the outline for the degree.
Sorry if it sounds like I'm dissing your degree Don. I'm not. I'm taking
it on faith but I have no way to verify it.) and your work with Dr.
Shigo.

You apparently had no idea of what you were looking at, or didn't look at
all. I suspect the latter. I will be happy to define the subjects for
you and dead wood, should you have problems with the big words.
