Margaret, no, I didn't give one-word responses. I've just found that they
make up things. In most cases, they have not conducted oral discussions
with me about what they are going to write. They usually send me a written
questionnaire and I give them written responses. In several cases, they
have made me sound more important than I am, so I don't complain. In some
cases, readers of the articles have commented on those incorrect statements
to me, and I have had to tell them that no, Garden Perennials doesn't
really send plants all over the world. The person who wrote that
apparently made that up.
