Brian,

    This was just a nice way that Dennis chose to say "ease up on the hard
stuff." It wasn't a slur on O/A.

One of the biggest open secrets in beekeeping is the variety of stuff that
goes into hives. Because some beekeepers didn't want too much investigation,
they didn't report losses. Jerry was practically begging for anonymous
information. 

We will never know how much this factor blocked the investigation. What
percentage of the losses do you suppose we know about?
