Thanks so much Sue! I'll check them, and it should be easy for me to see and identify, so i'll update and in future use the method you outlined for inputting.
Also, there's been some input from others in the DL forum ... maybe we could ask for a simple rust-counter in the DB, that each garden-grower and hybridizer could 'report' an individual case (kind of like a running survey)?
And, since there had been success in the fuchsia community with using the same kind of survey-reporting data to develop mite-resistant info (used by hybridizers to strengthen, not eliminate, strains they are working with) ... maybe that kind of reporting would lend itself well to thrips in the database? just a thought, as there's seems to be so much that regular folks, as well as hybriders, can do collectively to identify useful lines for crossing in additional vigor into the future...
