I empathize with Kenneth¹s problems in getting the OGD back in order. I personally know of people who failed to receive their OGD posts and were unable to communicate by e-mail in the other direction as well. Kenneth finally got those specific problems solved, but it appears that his problems are more widespread and affect a number of members who subscribe to the OGD.
At times like this it may be well to recall the old bromide: TANSTAAFL. For those who are unfamiliar with it, it stands for: ³There ain¹t no such thing as a free lunch.² The OGD is a wonderful service for orchidophiles, and Kenneth is to be praised for his efforts and his concerns. But why should all the burdens, financial and otherwise, fall on his shoulders? So, Kenneth, would a modest fee by those who benefit from the OGD help solve the problems that are facing you now? Or, would it complicate things further by adding another layer of work to the process? If it would help, I for one would be happy to contribute my fair share. My best wishes to all.
