[OGD] Nakamotoara
I have this Nak. Edwin Hausermann (Ascf. Peaches x V. cristata) that I bought last May. I can grow Dar. Charm without serious trouble. The Nak. was outdoors last summer, under lights ever since. It is in bark mix in a slotted clay pot. It appears healthy, but it does nothing. It just sits there hasn't really grown at all. Any suggestions? Iris ** AOL now offers free email to everyone.

[OGD] Silence
Barbara, Your OGD post about Chuck and myself contained false allegations against me.. When challenged, by both myself and by Dot, to substantiate your false claims, you elected to remain silent. It proves that you are unable to back up your false allegations. To say that you did not have time is not very believable, when you did have time to create another post re the Phrag Haley Decker Timeline. Instead of an apology, you elected to publicize a private e-mail from me to you, in your post Silence on this forum, without asking me for permission. It shows a lack of common courtesy and poor judgement on your part. peter___ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) orchids@orchidguide.com http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com

Won't happen.and chances are you will get slammed for complaining, yet they wiill tell you how great the info is here. MAYBE, but that's if you can sift thru the trash talk. Try the AOS forum( http://www.aos.org/aos/MessageBoard/DB_Index.aspx ). The complaint from this list is the AOS caters too much to beginners. That may or may not be true but I DO know you will get prompt civil answers to your problems without having to worry about someone jumping down your throat if you mistakenly say something wrong.

Re: [OGD] evaporative cooler for 14 x 20 - Thank you
Thank you to everyone who responded on- and off-list to my query about a wet wall for my new greenhouse. Most people suggested one of the external evaporative coolers instead, and this weekend I spoke to a local grower who uses one. Apparently, it works well, despite our high humidity, and requires a much smaller hole in the greenhouse skin Mark Sullivan asked why I was concerned about insulating a wet wall. It's not freezing of the wet wall itself that worried me, so much as sealing such a large opening in the greenhouse. For the external evaporative coolers that is less of an issue. Thanks again.

Hi Ewan, Yahoo groups has some active orchid discussion groups that cater more to beginners, although even there sometimes that experienced growers get tired of answering beginners questions.

Re: [OGD] Publishing private e-mail on the web
I too would like more privacy and less spam. Is is possible? Thank you, Sjean Bromeliad Queen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for the link, I will include your sentence in the Rules of Conduct for the Conifer Obsession Discussion Groups. We only had one problem last year: The owner of the Gymnosperm database posted some E-mail comments from a conifer expert from Kew Botanical Gardens onto his website. I was shocked and asked him to remove it. He never did. So, how can you really enforce it in a private group? I am sure, you know, all our posts appear on the Internet as well. I am always a bit reluctant to comment. Perhaps a screen-name is in order. I was very upset, when I found two of the last posts about Garden Web World making headlines on Google. See for yourself: http://www.google.com/search?hl=enq=Garden+Web+WorldbtnG=Google+Search scroll down to # 5 and #6. Barbara, your name shows up as well! To be honest, I wish, our post would be private. I personally do not appreciate the publicity. This is the main reason for getting all this unwanted spam mail. For instance, click on Barbaras post, scroll all the way to the bottom and you will find in the left corner: Reply via E-mail to Barbara. Click on Barbara and you have her E-mail address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] So, all of your posts show up in the same matter with your E-mail address hidden, however the Spamers know how to find those.
