HERB - Goddess ??? Evaine

[Sara Harless]

I thank you very much for the compliment. But I think you may be 
exagerating just a tad. (shakes head, smiles to self) You people are all 
nuts. Very nice, very wonderful, very supportive, but NUTS! I adore you all.

For my part of this little project, I plan on spending most of this 
coming weekend plotting a dB format that will take advantage of all the 
good info already out there in webland (links are your friends) as well as 
have spaces for SCA specific info. I have collected many emails and a 
goodly number of URLs to look at. This will be much more fun than 
watching it rain on my lawn-turned-jungle.

For those of you concerned about dangers; my father was a physician who 
took his Hippocratic Oath very seriously. I lost my copy when the house 
burned down, but one of the more important phrases is "do no harm". One 
of the best ways to avoid "doing harm" is to fully inform people to the 
best of your knowledge. There are myriad books containing specific 
dosages for things taken internally. I do not think we need to repeat 
this type of information in our dB. 

I look at this as more of a starting point for serious researchers, a 
compendium of the many names a plant has been called through the ages, 
and some arrows (links) pointing toward the good works of others. This 
will also serve to answer the questions of the curious. As for the 
website itself - growth, yes; redundancy, as little as possible.
