Hello Marc, Avery is little more than dinnertime entertainment like so many
public speakers he
makes the rounds at annual winter agchem dinners, we get alot of these around
here and we have

learned to milk them for all they are worth just for the free meal
Avery is just another loud moth like Rush etc.etc. etc., these folks will
blow lots of wind for a
price and organics have their fair share of wind blowers I don't take any of
them too seriously
just as long as I get a free meal ...
