Hi all, Just lately there have been a couple of our members who seem to feel that there is nothing to be gained by staying on the list. This is disapointing as there is a lot to be gained. At times it seems that there is nothing happening but if people ask a few questions the knowledge is there to be gathered. It is frustrating at times to have people going on about the AOS voting and who's who in the zoo! but it is easy to simply scroll past these if one is not interested. As for the person who says he is just a hobbyist, well, so are we all. Its like the people who go to orchid meetings and say they never learn, but, they never ask questions either. Remember that this list goes world wide and if you want information or want to learn, then simply let your fingers do the talking and ask. Cheers, Max Redman, (Hobbyist from Sydney Australia) _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids
