I have to object. Not idiots all. Maybe a lot, maybe even the majority, but
not all. A year ago, I might not have objected, but we now have a very good
extension agent in our county. He's young, bright, energetic, involved and
may even be on this listserv - I know it interests him. He's a first for
me, but the fact that he exists suggests that others may also. Don't brand
everyone for the frailties of even the majority.
