I'm having a bit of problem parsing that incoherent little rant -- if that is what 
it is.  

Hard to say since it makes little sense, so I can't argue.  (Apparently nobody 
else could make out the point since nobody bit), and besides, the writer seems 
to be stand accused as much, or more, than any here.

If the suggestion is -- and I'm guessing -- that somehow BEE-L is "holier 
than thou", we all know better and that is why we are here.  there is no
catechism and no dogma.

BEE-L is the uncensored and unaltered writing of many with differing views 
and abilities, including some rather dubious and deluded sorts -- like you and me.

As for the word "Informed" in the list title, that obviously has more to do with 
*hope* than reality, the thought being that mentioning the idea sets a goal.

If there is any treatment theme here it is a general and hard-learned respect
for IPM.  Measure, respond, and know what you are dealing with.

Many of us, like you, have experimented and learned what you did the hard 
way.  Sometime over and over.  Right, Bill?

Welcome to the club.

No faith-based beekeeping.
