Guest guest Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Dear all, Thanks for taking the time and sharing your wisdom and insights. How wonderful it is to live in times such as these providing all of us, whether we are new students or 30 plus year practitioners, with forums which serve as cyber-classrooms, where questions can be asked, thinking can be provoked, and ideas can be shared, for the most part,anyway, with a spirit of helpfulness, cooperation and tolerance. When we learn, we grow, and I thank everyone who has helped me learn so very much. It is wonderful solace to be able to ask questions and be safe from the intrusion of spam or from salespersons who I have not solicited. One quick technical detail, Doug. In actuality, bananas are different than fruits, as fruit trees yield their produce form the same branches each new season, whereas bananas come from new shoots that grow from the ground each year. You are wonderful communities! (but wouldn't it be nice to meet face to face once in a while?)

I don't know what science lay behind the claim but I still find it an interesting idea.
