That you can take to the bank.

I'm pretty sure that's Coot's delivery van.
Poco, we owe it to each other and to the newcomers to step to the plate any time false information or incomplete information is offered here in the forum. Much of what we talk about, especially wild plants, could easily get someone injured or killed with inaccurate or incomplete info. I welcome any challenges to my posts or any additional information that I didn't think to include. Being knowledgeable means being accurate.
My thoughts exactly, Rick. I just don't want anyone to feel as if another member is putting them down. I wrote in the form of the first person, however it was meant in the spirit of the membership not the individual. I have been corrected when I have been wrong and take no offense personally. However I have sensed that some may have been offended, whether my feeling is true or imagined I do not know. I really do want to be on the winning team, when it comes to accuracy of info.
When I first came here I did ask some questions that I actually knew the answer to. Testing the waters of knowledge as it were. I was NOT a Lurker. I just came here and dove right in. I don't know if this forum has seen anyone as vocal as I, before my appearance on the scene. I didn't do any research of posts or anything like that... I didn't know how. I had never been a member of a Forum before this... Well yes I have, I went asked some questions got answered, and haven't been back. But as far as being an actual contributing member, No I haven't. I am currently a member in other Forums, However this is home. This is My meat and potatoes. We all live at home and occasionally visit other places and that is the way it is for me here in this Forum. No other Forum that I have been to has a plant Database, like here. If I could type faster I would try and give Crash and WE a run for the mon.ey in that aspect. While I may not be as knowledgeable as them in that aspect, I could make them look over their shoulder to see how close I was behind them.LOL But Hunt and peck is all I can do and I really dread long posts like this one. For me it is work. I really have to be in the mood to add to the Database, But plants can't run so they have an importance.
Yes I have been here less than 60 days I think, some may consider me a Newbie. That Label is not important to me,I Don't care if I get called that. Wilderness Survival IS IMPORTANT to me, I take that VERY seriously. As you said someones life could hang in the balance. That IS EXTREMELY important too. This is what made me write this post. I saw Nell say "I know you know that" in replying to someones post, but the subject I did not know and was very glad she said that info. I think like most here that there are things I know, things I don't know, and things that I think I know and don't know as much as I think I do.
I really do believe what my signature says. It came from one of my own posts. It's myself that I quote, because I really really do believe that. Thanks for letting me ramble on, I'll shut up now, I've typed enough...almost an hours worth of typing for me
I leave for a few days and Poco....:innocent:
Poco????Offend????? thats pretty funny.
If any of you have ever been in the military, or worked as a school teacher, knows how repetition is often used to instruct others. Cross referencing information from one thread to another is just fine. Reinforcing a discussion with the small details sometimes makes things clearer. You never know who may be viewing a thread and what level of skills they have. Anyone can scroll though the stuff they already know and read only what interests them. Look at all the banter between members that's posted on a thread. I skip over a lot of that. Any details that pertain to the thread is a good thing. IMO
......besides, if it weren't for repeating myself I'd only have 200 posts.
Oh - OK - for your amusement.....

Being a newbie, I think one of the things that most impressed me with you guys is that when someone (especially me) asks a question that sounds so simple, no one comes back with "Why don't you use the 'Search feature'", or "That's been covered a thousand times, just search for it". I enjoy the lighthearted spirit here and I learn something new almost everytime I log in. I never would have learned about Lee Peterson if it wasn't for ya'll. Thanks.
(Now, back to the "2D vs Ken" thread.)
Face it Oly - there is only so much you can do from a lumpy chair.
I was hoping to get the wilderness nobel peace keeping award crash, The lumpy chair relaxes me.
I'll submit your name for consideration.
