Nate,

I'm not attacking you. I was just trying to break down your post into smaller segments and address them all. As far as your first post goes, you said

"Anyone know where I can dig up some wild palms. Texas maybe? Want somethin hardy to Z6. Needle palm or Sabal Minors. Would like to try bringing some back to Kansas."

All I'm basically saying is that you can't just go "dig up some wild palms." True, you never said anything about taking anything illegally! But you were sort of callous in the way you presented yourself. You also said,

"but how do you think our gardens got so beautiful?? Someone went out in the wild and snatched one up and brought it home, cloned it and stuck it on the market. I do not feel it is any more wrong for me to do it than a nursery too."

If a nursery "went out in the wild and snatched one up," they would be breaking the law also, and not a reputable nursery.

It seems that you've twisted around a lot of what I said, using quotes (out of context) and wanting to argue more than help. Do you work for the local law enforcement? Talk to Taylor maybe he/she can coach you on how to help someone not attack them.
If I took something you said out of context somehow, I didn't intend to do so. No, I don't work for the local law enforcement. I have talked with Taylor, he's a swell guy!
