Steve, I for one always read your post since I'm sure to
learn something in the process. Whomever Ms Cooper is, I think she's most likely
the a*s.
Keep the discussion coming since while I don't always agree
with you or anyone on this list or any other, I think your questions always
make me think and learn.
Keep it up and don't be detoured by crap like this message.
No apology necessary.
The epiphyte tree is awesome. I have to have one
now!

If any apology for some of my comments or questions on Aroid l
is in order, I gladly offer it.
I received a very disturbing message tonight with a direct
copy (slightly edited) that I posted on this forum about my construction of my
epiphyte tree. The message came from a person whose name showed up
as Holly Cooper. I do not know Holly but she has posted a similar
message once before on the GardenWeb. In that case, another individual had
requested a photo of Anthurium cubense. I had taken a photo of
Denis' plant which was tagged Anthurium cubense with Leland Miyano
standing with it at the 2007 IAS Aroid Show. As it turned out, Leland
later pointed out the vein count on that plant did not match Dr. Croat's
scientific description so we learned later that plant is not a full species and
liekly a hybrid. The moderators of the GardenWeb forum took down
her post since it referred to me by a strong term.
If I have irritated any of you with my constant comments and
questions, I sincerely apologize. I am only a student of aroid botany and
constantly ask questions in order to learn. I don't believe anyone can
find any place on my website or on the net where I have ever claimed to be an
expert in plants. I just study them, ask a lot of questions of Dr. Croat,
Leland and Julius and I probably read too much. The only aroid
experts I know are the ones I try to accurately quote in my internet
articles.
This is what I received from Ms. Cooper. I have
purposely removed her email address:
From Holly Cooper:
Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.pompousasswords.com/www/index.htm
YOU ARE SUCH AN
IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The people you so religiously quote are ashamed to be associated with you.
Yes! It's true! Emails are flying behind your back! You are
the absolute shame of the UBC horticultural site. NO ONE wants to be
associated with you but out of pity they endure your presence. STOP
GRANDSTANDING. CAN YOU NOT HEAR THE LAUGHTER??????????????????
Again, my apologies if I have offended anyone on Aroid
l. It was certainly not intended.
Steve Lucas
