I would say that counts as "interest". It would be of interest. *********** > on that subject, a text published today in Sri Lanka : Thanks Cheers...Steve _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [email protected] http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
