[aroid-l] ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

From: "Ron Iles" roniles at eircom.net> on 2002.09.12 at 13:32:56(9398) Esteemed Sirs, Mr. P & Mr Chen Clinical microscopic taxonomy is so impressive & beguiling, necessary & makes Life blissful for many who suffer scraping out a meagre living from the hard labour. Fine & next year, the new taxonomy may be even more valid than now. It is a most noble & laudable quest for human ordering of Truth. Plant pet owners who have given their pet their own fancy name can always change the valid plant name on its real birth certificate...again. I wonder when Sections will be promoted to full genera & sub sub sub species to sub sub species? But I must say gently that for me when there is more pre-occupation with the minutiae & perceived propriety of what Spaths seem rather than how they eally are, the Spaths do get disturbed to their very roots.. After such traumas I sedate my pets with their valid but all different names, smile, go back to sleep & wait for things to turn full circle. Then I blink momentarily & sometimes say things like "Oh my God, somebody has re-invented the wheel...again?". Then I re-sedate the pets, reassure them its all right & that the bogies will go away, make them comfortable, tuck them up, smile more smugly, close my eyes, & go back to sleep. Sorry in the latter circumstances I do tend to snor(t). BUT...do please feel free to wake me when its all over or something truly really amazing & important happens for the plants. And thank you God for giving us Chaos to keep us pre-ccupied with how things are.
