Ellen,

I can see that I should have read more before sending my last message;
not wanting the seperate Siberian list. Not having been on line to read my
messages for a week and a half or so, I did not know exactly what was going on.
A good lesson to me to look before I leap. 

If people want to have a seperate list strictly for Siberian Iris talks none of
us should mind. I think those of us who are really into all types of Iris and
who don't feel we will have time to go onto two seperate mail lists are afraid
we will miss some good information.

Now, Ellen, surely you don't really think your leaving the Iris-l will make
anyone happy! Your dry wit would be sorely missed! And I can imagine who you
would be taking with you; The backbone of the Iris-l.

So I hope you will ignore some of our thoughtless comments and continue on.
