I have enjoyed the attitudes of the recent postings for the most part...
How easy it is to let ones personal prejuduces interfere with sound reason!
Sold a guy some queens once from a particular breeder queen..he commented 
they were a little testy...I (almost unintentionally)gave him a dirty look 
and started mumbling under my breath. Didnt tell anybody(very slow to do 
that)
Later was in some yards with that queens offspring, and wellll.. yeah they 
were kindve testy.
I told him about it later and we laughed.

I bet a day in the yards with some of the guys onlist would add 10 years to 
my beekeeping ability, yet over a period of time I have learned to not take 
every single thing they say as fact. We are all fallible.

Seems like I am always coming to your defense Randy, maybe it is because I 
appreciate anybody who trys to thread that difficult line of dispassionately 
looking at the facts, knowing that you are probably going to get hit hard 
and accused unjustly if you form certain conclusions that simply are your 
best observations. My mom gave me "Profiles in Courage" by JFK several years 
ago and that was an eyeopener for me.

I dont follow all the esoteria with a fine toothed comb I freely admit, but 
I do feel I sense an integrity in you Randy that I respect.

Wherever I find that I try to encourage it.

God bless you all, Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah
