Roy, user #482 (Havis) has a division of one of your Clone-X. I asked if he wanted to trade for a cutting of it, but then he sent me a pic... if I only planted the Clone-X it would put a canopy over my yard and my neighbors on both sides of me. :shock:

It's liking the gulf coast.

I'll see if I can get Scott to post a pic of it tomorrow.

I always wondered how it would do in Texas. Here's my clump in my backyard. Way too much of a good thing.

And get this for a statistic: exactly 50 percent of the members have posted at least one post. 250 posted at least one post/250 have never posted.

It doesn't bother me that people join and then don't ever post. What bothers me is that I recognize a good number of names on the membership list who are people who have a good bit of knowledge about bamboo and they are not posting. Their postings would add greatly to the knowledge base of this forum. Of course, I don't want to harass these people, but I'm somewhat :( saddened :( that they don't post and share some of their knowledge and experience pertaining to bamboo.

bigone500: I notice when I click on your name and look at your profile the URL has the string "u=1055" in it. You could be user 1055 by that count. Do we count the users that were deleted when it was discovered they were spambots in disguise? Should I count myself as user 12 or 14?

The legal issues that will arise when the undead walk the earth are legion, and addressing them all is well beyond what could reasonably be accomplished in this brief Essay. Indeed, a complete treatment of the tax issues alone would require several volumes.
