I've decided to stay out of those discussions and will continue to do so for various reasons. Too much hysteria and conspiracy theories with dis/mis-information, often by our most prodigious posters who quote and link to less than reliable sources (I'm being generous). I find the continual argumentum ad monsantium and Gish Gallops to be tiresome, trite and unproductive.

I am always happy to talk about the science of plants and agriculture with those that want to discuss, incl. explanations of any of the papers posted here. My interest is in good science not anecdote and poor "studies" by check-out line magazines.

Now, back on track. I will continue to post as I find interesting publications, glad you are finding them valuable and thought provoking!

Best.
