Hmmm.  C'mon, Bob.  What happened to the "no spin zone" idea?  

We have watched you pick on researchers for years, and it has not done any of us any good -- individually or as a list -- to be associated even remotely with such generalized, mistaken and often error-filled abuse of hard-working people who put in long hours on our behalf. What did they ever do you?

Just several posts ago on this very list, if I am not mistaken, you attacked researchers for looking at CCD and searching for new pathogens.  

Now it appears you are attacking them for the _opposite_ and saying they are (all?) blaming the beekeeper.  Make up your mind.

Better still, please stop painting with such a wide brush, and also, please read your posts calmly and critically before you hit 'send'.  

Also, please, please, please -- everybody -- read your subject lines and change them when appropriate.  (And, no, there is no need to add "(was...)".   If it is  new topic, it needs a new subject line and thread, and forget about the previous topic.

Thanks, thouh, Bob.  We all appreciate your articles.  Every one of them is entertaining , and many, if not most are quite informative.
