Thanks for posting this, Char!

Char said:What I need to know is....would this be something you would be in favor of seeing done or do you want the ATP database to only show the official registration info? Changes would be made only to ones I am certain of...


My thinking is that the kind of database we have here lends itself perfectly to collaboration among people who know a lot about their specific areas of interest. That means we can share what we know. The rust information is another good example of having information in our database that isn't present anywhere else.

I'm of the opinion that more is almost always better than less.

Just because AHS is missing information, or has wrong information, does not mean that we should feel obligated to perpetuate those errors.

So, if we're voting here, I'd vote that you proceed and mark those plants appropriately regardless of what the AHS has. But others here may feel differently so I want to give them a chance to hear the idea and weigh in with their own thoughts.
