I must mention here in the first place, that I have not for a moment taken the remarks of Snehal ji badly. I am fully aware from my experience with people that those who take their subject seriously normally are offended when others who are not so well qualified handle the subject in what appears to be a cavalier fashion. She is justified in thinking so because she is a serious student of botany and is devoted to botany. Having said that, I assure you that I will not leave the group that has so much to offer. So much affection, so much of patience, so much of knowledge. I have one request, please do not feel offended with Snehal ji, am sure she has a lot to offer to the group. we all commit mistakes and we all learn from it. Thank you all. Regards. Yazdy.
