"...how much longer will I add fuel to the fire by reporting on it?"
It's a mystery. I, as you might guess, have opinions on this matter, but I have seen the fervent ferment frothing at many mouths and held back from holding forth. It's elk season and chanterelles are sprouting all over the place, so I'm spending my time innawoods rather than stoking the flames. I really don't think I have anything to add anyway, as all I can do from here is talk about stuff other people have said. Who the hell cares what I have to say about what other people say? They already spoke for themselves, and none needs any help from me.
I'm off with a plastic bag for mushrooms and a pointy stick in case I'm attacked by a bull elk. Wish me luck.
Thanks!
