Hi Lawrence,

I apologize for posting one last post on this topic, but I've been on this
list a long time and wanted to publicly say goodbye to some friends I've
never met in person, but nevertheless have had great discussions about
fruit, for which I'm grateful.

I think I'll go ahead and ask you to remove me from the list please. Don't
misunderstand, I'm not mad or anything. My interests have slowly been
moving away from the direction of Nafex for some time, which is why I
haven't renewed my subscription this year.

Namely, I'm more interested in commercial fruit production instead of fruit
exploration. I also use pesticides which is at variance with most on this
list. Additionally, I already receive about 5 different fruit newsletters
online, plus two trade magazines (one online, and one paper), and I'm on
another fruit forum. I can barely keep up with all the reading as it is.
Finally, I don't want to be a sponge receive the emails from this list, when
I'm not standing any of the cost. It's time for me to move on.

Nafex is a great organization and a great bunch of people. I don't know how
I'd have gotten started without all of you. I wish you all the best.

Sincerely,
Mark Angermayer
