-It was in fact the sincere request of a hobbyist about Habenaria rhodochila that started this whole thing. Guido's inappropriate, condescending response brought the same old flamers and trolls out of the woodwork, as they know how easy it is to push his buttons. It is a shame that someone so charming in public, and so well respected academically, can be so immature online. But we have all seen this in other venues. Those who jumped on the chance to goad him further (and we all know who they are) are beneath contempt, and have never been the source of knowledge Guido was.
