Hi louis,
I'm not try defend Tommy in this case, nor offend you.
I only wrote about my concern and oppinion on this, so we are can
learn from it.
("we" is including me of course)
It's your problem with Tommy that you have to solve yourselfs, both of you.
I also don't like Tommy keep silence to you. But what can I do? Some people already try it.
And my house is several thousand kilometers away from his house.
Maybe Tommy just not ready yet.
Who knows? You can keep try to contact him or just wait. (That's what I would do, but I don't care about what you would do!)
I said that I'm sorry for you, Tommy, and the plants.
Especially the plants.
I sent a message to you and you never reply...
Do you know why?
Do I have to?
I think you can figure it out if you
learn enough.
Sorry, I don't have to be worry about taking care of my words nor changing my attitude. I'm who I'm, and I'm responsible for that.
And sorry if you don't want to be called "stupid".
For me,
I'm just a stupid person for something that I don't know. I admit it without any objection.
I won't defend my self for that. And I won't be shame for that also.
But I can
learn and find out if I want to be not stupid (and ignorance) about that. I don't know about you.
Actually I'm "stupid" enough to comment on this thread that I know "nothing" about.
Do you know that
I'm really-really stupid about history of your home town? Do I care now?
But I "can" and "want"
to learn when it become necessary (or important you may say) for me.
Actually I don't want to talk about this, because it not directly related to your problem (the problem is not in this part), OOT, but I jus't can resist. Another kind of "my stupidity".
Anybody that has internet connection or access to a good library, if doesn't have the book, can find it. Just like we did.
Yes, it's grow near L... W.... and somewhere around other lakes...
But my question was "Do you
really know ...."
Oh yeah, it's a small place (in the map). It's only about 100km square (or more?). And only about 10-20 mature plants found recently. It easy! piece a cake! no problem!
Hmm...............very nice dream.
Do you know that SMP call (or SMS? I forgot) longor for the location when he already "really close" (in the map) to the location? Do you know he then "runaway" when the local people chasing him? Yes, it's one of the "safest" place to go, especially if you are not a locals. Even Tommy is not a local people there.
Once I read in captive exotic website sometime ago about N. klosii why it is not in cultivation yet is because nobody want to take the seeds with blood in it. But I can't find that page now.
Do you know that Ch'ien got his malaria there? And once had to spent a night at the police officer's house?
Have you seen another people picture of N. klosii beside our photo's, Ch'ien's and old Rose's.
No, I'm not try to say that we are super men! We are just a bunch of crazy people that dare enough to go there at a time.
Actually, it's not that difficult. Anybody can do it. (I'm just not dare enough to suggest it)
But If it not because of luck, I doubt we found the plants there. ;D
We asked local people about the plants, including the tribe chief, show them the pictures. no body knows. Oh yes, you can see millions of N. maxima there!
You even will need a lots of luck to find a single plants of N. sumatrana that grow on the road side around S....... (everybody knows where the town is!)
So it's not only about expensive airplane ticket (that a lot of people can buy) and know where the grow (in the map).
BTW, we can also do boat and road trip for this.
Sorry, I don't care!
I don't know what you bought and how Tommy got his plants for you to sell. It's not in "my concern". You mention N. klosii, but who care now?
I'm very stupid on this and want to keep it that way!
Don't be offended all! please learn. Read more "deeply" in my "..." and
red words, also (....) sentences.
No more comment from me. I have learn enough. (but still stupid
)
Thanks!

(as stupid as I wanna be ;D)
