GURUCHARNJI: *Thank you Gucharanji for teaching*, being the professor who puts his word on line for all to see, and really learn and teach to others, patiently.... I have learned immensely... from your writings and keys prepared by you..... this is a wonderful classroom and field...
*AND* I and the universal energies apologize to the wise teachers like you on behalf of all the rash maladjusted outbursts from young hotshots.... no matter how many degrees or publications... such outbursts are mainly uncalled for... Thank you from the community of people who come to eflora regularly to learn and be surprised and enthused about botany all over again .
