Anner & Others,

You sound defensive and I apologize for that.  Please understand this was not
a personal attack against you or anyone OR your actions.  I simply used that
sentence to indicate the subject that lead to my discourse--the quibbing over
TBIS.  I was not taking you OR anyone else to task on a personal basic--simply
the act of bickering over things that seem to be non-issues to me.  

I am sad that I can not share my love for irises with others unless I am also
willing to accept the human trait of one-upsman----my iris is better than your
iris.  

Far be it from me to deprive the general masses of this pleasure.   Why spend
time fighting?  It all seems like wasted or misplaced energy.  .  to me.
After all, aren't we all supposed to interested in the same 'general' topic?
Irises.  Wouldn't it serve the iris better if people pooled their collective
genius to co-exist?  Again, this is not a personal comment to anyone.

It is interesting that I (personally) become the problem, rather than the
behavior between TBIS and AIS, when my objective was to eliminate fighting and
quarreling.   I don't understand the problem between TBIS and AIS, but at this
point, I have no desire to.  As you say, I have that right.  My life can not
be enhanced or lengthened by contentious behavior.
