I have enjoyed the previous exchange of views,but do not like at all
being told that my views,perhaps wrong as I am new to vine culture,are
total nonsense.I thought that I had put down some valid points,which
doubi....thinks are total nonsense.Since it is clear that
doubi....wishes to hide his identity,I am afraid that I will be taking
the views of Paul in my future approaches,as at least he is willing to
hear differing views without becoming irrational.Incidentally,my
comment was about WASPS not bees-I have actually seen them on the
ripening grapes in previous years,so that comment cannot be total
nonsense!
So,please Paul,can we ignore doubi...comments as spam,and perhaps
continue a very useful discussion about whether it is sensible to use
garden mulch to preserve top soil moisture on a dry soil.

Michael,

Putting a name on my words doesn't give me more credibility. Either
the ideas are sound or they're not. You have already given me
credibility with your observations. It's the nay sayers who
continually dissent in the face of overwhelming evidence are the ones
with no credibility. Would you feel better if my name was Bernie
Maddoff or Lehman Brothers? They had credibility because they had a
name, right?

It would imply that your are proud of the words you use instead of hiding
behind an alias.

Why do you still refuse to say where you are growing your grapes and which
varieties you are growing?

AT LEAST one idea you had - using Brute trash containers for fermentation
containers was NOT sound and was downright DANGEROUS advice. Why should
anyone trust your other advice.

You have not presented documented "overwhelming evidence".
You have merely presented your "ideas".

Oh, stop being silly. This is Usenet, anyone can call themselves anything
and no one knows who they are.
