I've just come across your little group (Hi Bob!)

Women climbers, I've employed women and found them highly proficient. I am not one for standing up for women's rights, they can jump in front of horses if they like, though I'm more interested in health and safety, quality, efficiency and productivity. Women like men tend to do the arboricultural 'business' and do it well!

Very much like the plant health discussion group, you guys tend to steer from the sublime to the ridiculous. A day's work probably consists of felling lots of trees unnecessarily, followed by the rush home to e-mail some pointless statement which extends across the globe.

Given your subscribers comments of women climbers, I would hope that your group remain autonomous and hopefully anonymous.

I look forward to your inane replies!
