It's easy, my opinion its generally right :-) Only others opinions are
wrong! (My wife would finally have me commited if she read this, guilty as
charged!)

I was still (anchor tongue in cheek) making the point that reed rush has one
of the most truly awesome clearing capabilities during the removal of

long furrows into which the "reed dust" can fall.

You don't experience tearing of the fibers when you scrape with a knife?

I suppose so....but I started the listserv just this year......and I
haven't read the archives. Someone already posted the correction, and I

to be more careful in how I phrase an answer. :)

cannot get used to that), but I assumed yelling at myself in the beginning
and you at the end would convey the lite-heartedness in my retort! :-)
