Laura,
 
I especially look forward to Allen's submissions.  They are generally full
of vital and challenging information that are a big encouragement to this
novice beekeeper.
 
I hope that you will eventually see beyond his rather direct manner to a
personality that seeks to exhort others to do better.  Exhortations are
confused as rejections by some pesonalities.  Yet they are not.  They are
meant to encourage and assist.
