'Ello, All!
	I try not to be fanatical on this topic, just do what I can, but you
hear so many different decomposition rates for objects I thought this was
nice in having it all in one list.  It came from a brochure from a paper
newsletter from the Missouri Forestkeepers Network, a State Department of
Conservation organization set up to monitor the state of the state's
forests.
