Tree Farming and Related Problems http://www.treedictionary.com/DICT2003/SOUND/ Sincerely, John A. Keslick, Jr. Consulting Arborist http://home.ccil.org/~treeman and www.treedictionary.com 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. "Don Staples" wrote in message ... "Billy" wrote in message ... In article , "symplastless" wrote: 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.
