Unless I'm missing something the punctuation problem belongs to whoever wrote the text for the forestry bulletin. As far as I know no one at the Cornell Cooperative Extension was twittering or texting in 1996 when the referenced text was written. Perhaps their education at Cornell wasn't quite what it should have been.
In our twittering, texting and multi-tasking age I understand that it's challenging to read ENTS posts carefully before typing a response so I'll forgive you and Gary this time. -AJ DON BERTOLETTE wrote: > Gary- > Have you found In your role as an educator, that punctuation in these > days of texting and twitterrs, no longer seems to be attended to? > -Don > > > From: [email protected] > > To: [email protected] > > Subject: Re: [ENTS] Historical references to tall northeast white pine > > Date: Wed, 2 Dec 2009 17:25:31 -0500 > > > > Wow, how old is your friend?!?! > > > > Gary > > > > On Dec 2, 2009, at 9:57 AM, Andrew Joslin <[email protected]> > > wrote: > > > > > A friend sent me this reference to a 200 foot pine measured in 1899: > > > > > > Page 203 of /Forest Trees of the Northeast /(Cornell Cooperative > > > Extension Information Bulletin 235 pub. 1996 ISBN1-57753-012-8): > > > "Maximum longevity is considered to be about 350 years, though > > > individuals aged 450 and older have been found.
