I just wanted to say that i will miss my Best Banana bud. I wish him well on his journey not only to China but in this life. I have learned much form him and he hopefully from me. We have laughed, and talked about a **** load of Banana stuff as well as life, the universe, and every thing! its going to be hard living out here in Vegas with out you. I hope china is every thing you want and more.

Well, I'm hoping we will still hear from Scot -- even though his network location is changing. What a great guy.

I don't think he will. china will not allow open access to the INTERNET.

China has an intricate filtered access to internet sites. I have over 100 visitors per day to my internet sites from many locations in China. I correspond via email with people from businesses and universities in China on a regular basis, buy products from there, and have a few customers there as well.

My neice taught English in China a few years ago and we communicated with her via "Skype". It is FREE and good quality voice communication.

It's good to be reminded that there are places in the world where the internet isn't as easily accessible. I take it for granted and am in awe of people like you Scot that reach out and take the road less traveled.

Keep your wits about you, love in your heart and laughter close to the surface!

Be safe!

Pauly, thanks for helping out Scot so much in the past week. I know he appreciates it and can understand how it's going to be tough for you. Like Richard, I've communicated with Chinese visitors to my site (China produces huge quantities of chestnuts and would like to sell me a boat load! lol) and I think Scot will find a way. I know of Chinese visitors to other forums as well.

It's time for you to help culture some other banana fiends there in Las Vegas!

I'm sort of scared for Scot but excited at the same time and sure hope it all works out the way he hopes.

Im gonna miss Scot,

He taught me thread derailin' and I just derailed my first thread by myself on The "Dwarf Namwa" post. He also is so great with his knowledge and humor. I hope he is able to get back online as soon as possible.

Have a safe journey Scot.

I accidentally left one of my many garden houses one for a couple of weeks back in April or May. My figs got watered very well. I'm on well water and he water table is high so I figured it only cost me about $1. I'd hate to think what your city water folks would have thought....and what my bill would have been!!!

The last thing I had heard was from the person who was to run the tissue culture forum, Dr. Carol Stiff. She notified the people who had signed up would get refunds, which I got, but she also said tht a bunch of samples had been shipped to Cironex (Scott), and that we (those who had signed up) should get them. I never got anything from Chironex (Scott). I think he was a scammer.

I sent a Veinte Cohol pup to Scott in order to get them tissue cultured for members of the board. All good intentions have been lost. :(

Austin, from what I remember, there were several plants Scot had in TC that failed when an air conditioning unit went out or something. He wrote about it at the time, well before he decided to make the move to China. As far as TC supplies, I wasn't expecting anything since I got a refund. I don't think Scot was/is a scammer, just didn't plan for this move well enough IMO. I hope he is doing well.

yes the Veinte Cohol was in tc they were doing grate he had about 10 starts going a cuple showed some signs of infesction but the rest were doing well then the AC whent down and they were toast sorry to tell you this i thought he posted on that? he lost many plants in that feasco some of which were vary rare i maniged to get a few like the HY out befor this but no VC if we all ever get a crope of them going id be happy to share some pups but i don't have any vc at this point

I hope he is doing well and have no hard feelings over the V.C. I just wished it would have worked out for everyone. For that, I am sad.

I thought I'd pass on word.... I just received an e-mail from Scot a few minutes ago in reply to an e-mail I sent on October 5th.

In short, he is doing fine, has lost some weight, has had hassles with work visa, but now has them squared away. He isn't always able to access his Yahoo e-mail account and he has to walk 10 miles to get to a place with computer access (wow!). He just had luck getting into his account and had a boat load of messages so I was lucky to hear back. He has not been able to get to this site but plans to find a proxy server eventually so he can drop in on the org. By spring he should have the ability to get out and do some exploring.

I got a couple of e-mails from Scot a month or so ago, somewhat political in nature, as I recall. I think I sent a reply but didn't get any follow-up after that. Sorry I don't have anything more certain, but I think he's doing fine.

As luck would have it, I got another e-mail from Scot this morning (political in nature). I'll write him tonight when I've got more time.

Scot is on My sh*t list he asked me to pay a bill for him i was out raged it was unabashedly usury of him and i told him so he hasn't written me sins last year and i doubt i ever will hear from him again he did apologias to me after but being that hes not writing sins id say I'm done with him unless he can come up with a strong reason why the one person that supported him and helped him throw thick and thin and asked for not a thing in return but friend ship I'm done with him i feel used and thats all I'm saying on it i probably should not be saying any of this in public but i think the Truth will win out as they say and you if you hear from him can tell him exsactly what i said cut and past if if you want i dont care

Pauly, you shared that with me before and I feel bad how Scot hurt you. Still, when I write him I don't care to stir things up and it's best just to move on. Like I tell my son, we can't control how folks treat us but we can control our response so I tell him to do his best to always be a good example.

Shame on u for not posting more, Bob ;) :D and yes, yes to what concludes your Message. These types of problems shouldn´t be made public and they both are kind and nice to chat with.

03-26-2010, 06:34 PM
well i don't want any one to get hurt thats all its not intended as a way to get back at him and the criticism is why i and a bunch of other people don't want to post here any more iv been gone since Nov and my first post gets flamed so i guess that prove what i have been thinking all along I'm not mad at any of you but you mite do well to check that parental instinct to correct grown adults in public if there was shame in what i said it was mine to bare alone not yours to Heep more upon my head so you see you did the vary thing you are getting after me for doing!

I just got an e-mail from Scot. He's lost 30 pounds due to eating less fattening food and still has limited Internet access. He's enjoying his time there quite a bit but his limited income doesn't allow him to travel much and he works six days a week. He said that Dr. Markgraf died; I hadn't read about that. Scot had hoped to meet him. He ended his message with:

Take care my friend and tell everyone that I said Hello. Hope all is well at Bananas.org I can only get into it once in awhile and then my free proxy server stalls...oh well.

Scot

Pauly, I know you were a huge help to Scot and I know he appreciated it big time. Too bad things ended up the way they did. You're a good guy and don't stop being nice out of fear of getting taken advantage of.

Pauly, I am sorry you feel that way. I had a lot on my plate. I feel that you overreacted to a simple error, one for which I apologized. To shame me in a public forum like this really hurts me to my core.

Thanks to those of you who stood in defense of my character. I am no scammer and I tried my best. Zhai jian!

Well, I just got a chance to go online and wanted to say hi. I am still here in China and presently in Fujian province. I've seen many bananas here but still have no camera. Still learning Chinese though it is difficult due to many local dialects.
Hope to scan some of your photos and see what all you're growing back home.
Take care and Grow 'em if ya got 'em!
