Penny's style is not my style, but I admire her for her quick corrections and pleasant response -- a lot of people would have been more defensive.
Also, living on the edge of the South, I have to point out that this country (and continent!) has such huge cultural differences from one end to another. I noticed that a lot of the most disapproving posters are from the pretty far North. Maybe Penny's style will enable her to introduce heirlooms to communities where there's little variety in terms of what's expected from a tomato, who knows?
