AHS! ..U'whos<->wherever U'R? ..I don't mean to be NASH'ty, but, I think
the translation from Ben's Dutch Masterpiece below is this:
1) ..more than double the price for foreign
members? = robbery!!! Give us the option to have yer'publishings sent by
boat, not airmail, and the slower & cheaper the better!!!!
2) ..this price hike, can be taken as direct
discrimination against Foreign Memberships! ..yup?
3) FINAL = to the american hosta society
HIERARCHY IN POWER....
put all of the above in your pipes...
AND SMOKE IT!!!

Ben,
You old renegade. I noticed that this letter was also sent to the
phoenix. If I can recall correctly, that is the kind of speaking that
got many of us thrown off of that list. My guess is you have already
received your warning.
With fond memories of the hosta police,
Ray
---- RAY! ..pray'tell? -- how is that old "HITLER IN DRAG!!!"-bag, doing
with her PHONEY'axe'ING'methods/tactics against decent; very-well-known &
highly-respected hosta-folks, and my example for this statement is: Mr.
James Hawes i.e. what SHE/they did to him, via the defunct AHS ROBIN, of so
long ago prior?
Ray & ALL: In case y'all forgot, it was Jim Hawes' being removed from the
AHS Robin; at the whim of the hosta-police (with no reason whatsoever?) and
Mr. Hawes launching of a libel-suit against the AHS, which resulted in
AXING that AHS ROBIN real quick! Okay, I suppose? ..that is what is meant
by the quotable: "peace in our time"? LOL!
Ray: ..HOSTA POLICE? ..right! { "MU'AH?" }...and I don't mean the left
cheek, nor the right cheek <=> RIGHT'in'BETWEEN!!! <<t'hee t'hee>>
just bein funny?
