I have been around long enough to have overdosed on CITES to the extent that I set up a filter within my email program so that any emails with the word CITES goes directly to trash. It's not that I think CITES isn't a worthwhile topic, it's just that it starts trash wars. I'd rather go play with my orchids than read blow by blow virtual fist fights. > > You are certainly right, the attacks aren't necessary.

I'm not against opinions but an opinion of "you are a stupid #$!*$$%" is not an opinion but rather a personal attack. If the UN were run this way, the world would have blown itself apart years ago! All that said, the list is a good list overall. Thru this list I made a dear friend that has been of immense help to me. In addition to a place to connect with others in love with orchids it is populated with some of the most well known names in orchidom....imagine what we might accomplish if we could all play nicely together? <G> Sharon _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
