Caleb, I wasn't making fun of you at all, just pointing out to all the
OCBA readers that there are many factors at play. You intimated
the same thing in your post; I was just emphasizing that
observation. I once had somebody ask me if I used Honey Bee Healthy. I said,
no, I don't, I've never seen the need for it and I've never read
any academic articles proving its merits. The person said, "okay,
I'll dump mine out then." I was horrified, especially since that
stuff is so expensive! I was offering an opinion, not pronouncing
a judgement on that person's intelligence or product choice. There
are folks who love HBH -- it does stimulate syrup up-take due to
its nice stinkiness. But I'm not a booster for it; I don't need
it. And I will say that when asked, and not apologize for doing
so. Along the same lines, I often make points that people take the wrong way because of their perspective. I really do try to anticipate that sort of thing and adjust what I say accordingly -- believe it or not I reread my posts many times before hitting "send" (the typos must get in there after they are sent!). My goal is to guide and encourage. Please cut me, and others, some slack when something doesn't come out exactly that way. The alternative is that I don't post at all, which works for me but doesn't further OCBA's goal of fact-based education, outreach and encouragement of beekeepers. Rest assured that if I ever deliberately intent to insult someone, I will do it to them directly off-list and there will be no misunderstanding whatsoever. From that you can reliably assume that any insults on-list are very much unintentional on my part. Randall On 4/26/2017 9:27 AM, Caleb Haynes
