If I have learned one top thing in my short time here it the giving generosity of members. Awhile back, one individual sent me a bonus Dalmatie TREE with my cuttings. Totally out of the blue. I have a thread on it being air layered indoors. A few days ago this person must have noticed the last thing on my wish list, Raspberry Latte. Sent a message saying they would send one my way as a gift. I was expecting a cutting but no, it is another TREE! Other members have sent bonus cuttings, surprises, gifts. I protect your inboxes by not naming but you know who you are. Thank you! You make me want to give and that day will come, I promise. To those I have promised plants, I have not forgotten. :) P.S. You will always find exactly what you're looking for. Look for the good, it is here in abundance. Ignore the rest, it will only drag you down. __________________ Zone 7A ~ Fort Smith area Arkansas

It is your curiosity of the unknown and/or the curiosity of what can be. You combine those with the ambition to find out by extraordinary experimentation keeps us saying to ourselves, "what is Charlie doing now?" or "what will Charlie be up to next?". You are doing a good job at keeping this forum positive and moving in the right direction. You are much needed by all of us.

Charlie. Even though I am a new member, I know that You have already given a lot through your threads, your awesome experimentation and your more than positive and helpful demeanor towards everybody on this forum. The respect that everybody expresses for You speaks volumes ! Good luck with your new plant and all Your future ventures that I'm sure will benefit all! Well done buddy, the day has already come! PS IMO there is no evil on this forum! People that love growing life can not be evil or bad! The thing is that some of us have a peculiar way to express our love for figs and comrads! Have a great weekend Everyone! __________________ ChrisK Atl GA Zone 7b-8a

Agree with everything. I've gotten a lot of help, suggestions, and ideas from the posts on this forum that I wouldn't ever have found anywhere else. Of course, I've also caught the addiction from you all, too. It would be nothing without all of you who freely share what you know. Many of you also have spent countless hours to share your plants and cuttings, and the generosity is an inspiration. Great group of people here. Thanks to all of you! __________________ USDA Zone 9b Wish list: Abruzzi, Pasquale, Tagliacozzo, Zingarella, Godfather. Any unk Italian, especially from Abruzzo.

I concur and have been pleasantly surprised by the generosity of folk on here -- inspired me to do the same when I took cuttings from my BT tree, but I gave them away to a local permaculture group (they were overjoyed to receive them...you'd have thought I gave away Galicia Negra or something, heh) 95% of the folk here are great. 5% are Jackwagons. Just ignore the ravings of the Jackwagons, IMO... __________________ James, North Florida zone 9A

I list some trees last winter but the giving nature of the forum has me rebounded. Some surprise trees as well, bonus cuttings that IM even scared to try and root. __________________ Dave Zone 6b Illinois "Be the change you wish to see in the world"

Great posts from everyone. Using the old saying 'show me your friends, and I'll tell you who you are', I love being in this community, and if the character of the people here (my friends already and the ones to come) tells who I am, I appreciate it. You give me class. =) Regards, bill __________________ Billy - Middle Tennessee Seeking: C'hiapetta, A'driatic JH, and S'mith maybe 2 cuttings or so of each. Thank-you.

Charlie, Thanks for starting this Topic. There's 200 times more good than bad here. James, There is a large # of great members out there in the forum community and much more good. If you do the math with ~ 33% of registered forum members active or visiting in the past year... of that number less than 0.5% have been jackwagons. This means that there are ~ 99.5% Good... ; ) If that 33% is larger then the % of good only increases. <edit> Alan, I sincerely hope the following isn't perceived as an indictment. But, since we are mostly adults and aware of the bad around us, could we not instead focus on the positives, especially on this Forum and in this Topic in particular.

Thanks Pete, it takes time for some to stay positive, but with time it will happen, all the rest of the posts are very positive. If we stay as positive as Charlie and as you say Pete "99.5" good, then we will remain the successful Forum that we have enjoyed being a member.
