He is well known for his hybrids and cultural prowess, and I regret that I was unable to hear him speak on Cymbidiums when he was in my area (SF Bay Area), as I have heard he is a great speaker. However, that he never posts other than to denigrate others (or occasionally flame those who denigrate him or defend those he dislikes) is troubling. I recognize that many people on this forum have more orchid knowledge than I, and thus am more likely to lurk or ask questions than to post advice. Perhaps Mr. Easton should recognize that his knowledge is of much more value here than his vitriol, and post accordingly. I am sure that I am not the only one on this forum that grows weary of the personal attacks and rarely constructive criticism. Certainly Mr. Easton, it is often amusing to read your posts, but rest assured we laugh at you not with you. Dennis Westler
