The well-researched publication

Larry,

Thanks for your comments on researching articles:

It may seem "common sense" that goldfish might escape and eat 
vegetation, eggs or fry (baby fish), but carry that common sense 
downstream a little farther and make an informed recommendation, not one 
based on what one thinks may be true. Don't sound the alarm unless 
there's really a fire. Talk to a game warden or freshwater biologist 
with your parks and wildlife department for some real insights, and let 
us know. We're all willing to learn and spread the truth.

You said it very much better than I did and we would do well to heed 
your advice. Think about it. If readers don't trust the writing in 
publications, why would they continue to buy them and read them? On a 
personal level, it's in my nature (a compulsive reader and that 
librarian thing again) to appreciate a well-researched document, but 
it's also in my best professional interest, and I hope yours-- readers 
must be able to relate to and to respect articles in order to want to be 
able to keep track of them either to read again or for research.

So I urge garden writers (me, too) to keep the long term in mind as well 
as the short term sale and to give America the best writing we're 
capable of. And thanks to Carol Deppe for the most lucid and salient 
description of the "essence" of personalized writing I've seen in a long 
time.
