Thanks for the compliment, Paula. And the note of appreciation, Baja.
This is a site where differences of opinion are respected and sometimes argued out, hopefully to the benefit of others so they can make their own judgments. As Paula has pointed out, Baja and I have had very substantial differences in our many years of experience with plants so it is not surprising that we sometimes disagree, but always with respect.
When it comes to Cacti and succulents I always defer to Baja. Indeed I am happy he is on this forum to cover that area so well and so thoughtfully.
