That wasn’t the issue at all, not with the incident that primarily turned me off to this forum, but I doubt the moderators would even allow me to quote and describe what they did, so I won’t bother (unless they want to invite me to do so), but I won’t really continue to contribute to the forum either.
The way you grow pears is clearly the right way. I’m impressed not just with your choice of varities but how well you have grown them.
The abate fetel photos you posted are mouth watering and i have a tree full of these pears!

Your post showing you taking bites out of them makes me want them to hurry up and ripen even quicker now. TY for your kind words.

Clark knows a lot about pears and he has many varieties. It’s difficult to find a pear that he doesn’t have and even harder to find one he doesn’t know about. Your efforts to educate and share pears will no doubt bear fruit.

Just to add one on top, I started paying attention to people’s handles more closely after reading one of your and @clarkinks’s friendly interactions. My brain correlated “tattoos” & “ink” and came up with a hypothesis that “Clark (also) inks” for a second. It was fun to observe, since I’m working on a mobile game about cognitive biasses…

Clark in Kansas sounds like an alternative title for TV show “Smallville”.
Should we call him Fruit Superman (it doesn’t sound right, 
)?
I love reading your posts and advices.

How about Supearman (read with a drop of Russian accent).

Clark is my secret colleague. he has a full body suit of tattoos and wears concealer on every inch of skin to hide it for you guys.

Thanks everyone for the very kind words and for the joking around we did. Thanks for starting the topic. All of you should have your own thread for being a great group of fruit growers! I would be happy if i could be more like any of you! @GaryFencler i hope to run into you sometime at a scion exchange or at a fruit tasting etc. . You will find out clarkinks is just a regular guy with an obsession for growing fruit.

The way things are going I predict that in a few years there are going to be a bunch of new Clarks here on this forum, so Clark don’t slow down!!

That was how I originally read it too, and now it’s just what my brain sees every time. Thought maybe he had a day job as a tattoo artist or something. Now that i type that out, it sounds pretty dumb.
