Good neighbours.

We are quite distressed by the level of stripharvesting that has been
going on, of late. Astral is in a particularly dire state, even despite
our efforts to replant, nurture growth -and- guard the sparkleberries
with nature's help. For the purpose of this post, stripharvesting refers
to the unsustainable practice of harvesting below five of a given herb,
in a given location. You might also refrain from harvesting an herb at
all during its dormant season. Stripharvesting damages nature's balance
and, less importantly, means that there are less herbs for everybody to
enjoy.

We call for an -immediate- cessation of this practice.

Having now ruled out ignorance as an explanation for the behaviour we
are witnessing, we feel quite confidence that no form of escalation will
be necessary.

Sincerely,

Versalean, of Glomdoring
