<pre>Well said, Roger.

Yet we do think most of us, ages ago, arrived at a state of healthy pessimism.

In the beginning, it was easy, perhaps too easy, to be optimistic, what
with the promulgation by some parties of literature and spoken advice full
of grand promises, grand yields, and grand business plans.

But we do recommend you treat with the very same healthy pessimism some of
the things that have been said, and are still being said, in the Australian
Olive Grower. We would like to see such journals (journal for us has
connotations of refereed content) published by independent bodies.

All the best.
