    The thing is, if the weather impeded your inspection in any way (i.e., rain / fog) why would you continue inspecting in the knowledge that your conclusions would be deficient?
  2. Amelanchier
    Whatever you do - don't cross the streams...

    In the context of our shared virtual world I prefer be judged on what I hammer into this keyboard rather than my age or appearance - hence the lack of my life on these pages. I'm actually a very gifted eight year old.

    I don't think there is a sentient being in existence today who has not transgressed some permutation of a copyright law in some manner. I taped some Pearl Jam off the radio in 1993 but I think I got away with it...

    As we can't afford proper legal advice on this matter I'm going to err on the side of caution and say that anyone who wishes to discuss the shared ownership and subsequent distribution of a copyrighted document should do so by another means (like email or PM to the OP perhaps). We can't condone (nor be seen to ignore) the circumvention of copyright. Cheers!

    Very nice find. A word of caution however, whilst the liklihood of causing significant damage to such a tree with an increment corer is low, it is still an offence to cause or permit damage to a protected tree. Also, landowners will tend to take a dim view of such 'research' without their consent - that include the highway authorities. Don't mean to rain on your parade, or to insinuate that you did anything wrong; just needs saying for the public forum!

    Good effort. C+ One needs to be in the debate to lose it. I'm just scoring on the sidelines - though if the thread dies through my involvement I'd consider it a mercy killing. As for 'The Man in Black' wasn't that Johnny Cash? Or even Will Smith?

    There is a principle in online discussions known as Godwins Law which states; "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1." This can lead us to the amusingly titled reductio ad Hitlerum fallacy in which one party likens the others opinion to Hitlers as a way of dismissing it out of hand; e.g., "Oh my god you don't believe in gravity do you? Hitler believed in gravity and he was an almighty [expletive]; it therefore follows that all people who believe in gravity are almighty [expletives]." Therein lies the amusement. If not the amusement then an explanation at least!

    Technically, if name dropping were fallacious it would be due to an appeal to authority and subsequent association fallacy rather than ad hominem. Just saying. Anyhow crack on. First person to mention Hitler loses...

    Steve went there as well. We all do. We are in the cabal. By posting on Arbtalk you give us permission to extract your DNA through your keyboard and build clones of you. We then send a wetwork team round to disappear you and install our clone in your life so that we can control the whole arb industry with sleeper agents. The clone is an exact replica, complete with a perfect reiteration of your memory and percieved self. You'll never know until we activate you. Our plans are nearly complete.

    IMO you'd be hard pressed to find P. cerasifera 'Pissardii' without at least one duff union - it's just how they grow and the presence of decay fungi is but one consideration among many in such a decision. If the tree is around for another decade why the rush to replace it?

    My threshold is much lower - I only need to be 10% sure to ban someone.
  13. Amelanchier
    The classification method certainly is. It takes a pedant to complain about pedantry though...
  14. Amelanchier
    That soil texture key is the US version...
  15. Amelanchier
    I agree with Tim.
  16. Amelanchier
    IIRC the first post was; "It works then..."

    There will always be stupid people. I often wonder what it must be like to live in their basic little world - one might as well try to imagine what it is like to be a bat. One thing is for certain though; you shouldn't concern yourself with the opinion of idiots. After all, they're idiots.

    Here it is Tony!

    Tilting at windmills - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Deep breath. I'm supposed to come up with a solution to a problem that I don't think exists?
  20. Amelanchier
    Are you overreaching your data? You have one example (presumably anecdotal) about the cost of a consultancy service. Is that enough to make epic statements about the future of the UK tree population?
  21. Amelanchier
    Maybe I live in a particularly enlightened part of the world, but I'm yet to meet an experienced arb who fells every tree he sees with decay. Have at those windmills Tony.
  22. Amelanchier
    What do you mean by a 'no guarantee diagnosis'?
  23. Amelanchier
    It is a legal requirement for the LPA to include details of how to appeal against its decisions on its refusal notice.
  24. Amelanchier
    My sentiments entirely - notwithstanding a degree in physical geography.

    Ha finally got past the 3000 post mark
