Re: Best Garden on Tour

Yes, Clyde, I guess I do agree with Carolyn.  It may just be a difference in
viewpoint.  I tend not to be a particulaly competitive person and I think I would
enjoy a tour less if I were required to rate it, or even if I thought it was being
judged.

Perhaps, mainly, it is simply fun to engage in a discussion and I think there is a
good possibility that your main reason for introducing the suject was to stimulate
discussion.  I know I enjoy it and sometimes am uncomfortable at the thought that
someone may not understand that such a discussion is pleasurable, not combative.
Therefore, I use the word "tentative."

Actually, I do not have a great deal of emotion invested in the question, but if
it were my choice, I would say no award.

Does that help any?
