(!!! absolutely no flame !!!)>> it's NOT TRUE !!! they are not sharing their original thoughts but after the papers are published : it's normal, it's their work and the net is the last way to give them ...

I too Laura, in spite of my 40+ years of beekeeping : to remain open and enthusiast is really a good thing ... and if some scientists will quit ... they quit ... what can we do ? Un de perdu, dix de retrouve's ! I repeat with Liz : It seems to me OK as it is. I agree with the Jerry remarks which I had included in my request : > Please, a bit more of netiquette !
