OT: A general comment about Iris-talk

One thought that has struck me as quite significant--

We here on Iris-talk are not various people from many communities.  
We are a *single* community of people shaped by a common interest and 
shared passion.  The boundaries and borders that divided us only a 
few decades ago seem to have melted away.

I have in my garden a variety bred in France from a parent 
originating in Utah.  Near it is planted another from Italy whose 
parents come from California and Oregon.  Among tiny seedlings are 
plants derived from parents gathered in China and Russia, or bred in 
Australia.

Our conversations flow as if we sat together in a single room.  To be 
able to exchange comments, share experience and trade the products of 
our work in a single network is a revolutionary change that 
astonishes and gratifies.
