Donald,

Of all the mail we get on the list that would be more appropriate sent
as private mail to an individual, yours was certainly not one of those.
That you have little interest in aphids should not be taken as an insult
by anyone. I don't have borer problems (thank goodness!!) and don't have
ANY interest in mail about them, but they are certainly important (as
are aphids) to lots of folks on the list. Keep up your postings.
