Uri, maybe your bias is showing? As a residence of France maybe you haven't heard the buzz. The Dijon WOC is being avoided in droves because of the unrealistic event pricing, second string status to a Spring bulb show and the generally unappealing program of lectures. You hear these things when you live in the real orchid world.
O'Byrne is weak on comprehension as well as other more important areas. I have no intention of wasting time by attending Dijon, even though I love French food and culture. Much prefer Miami show followed by Santa Barbara, both with guaranteed congenial weather and world class orchids. Orchid enthusiasts will have no problem attending Miami in 2008, maybe O'Byrne would, if he tried, find some difficulties. We will all be the richer, in spirit, by his absence.
