I had promised myself never to answer Andy directly again on the OGD, I am breaking with that tradition today. Someone has to speak up, let it be me. You have for the longest time attacked all the good people on this forum, not because they deserved any, but simply because you have to satisfy

There are lots of Canadians who are members of the AOS. There is even a judging center in Toronto. If my memory serves me, that is in that foreign country. If you are a member of the AOS, you get to comment on the AOS and its other members. It appears that Andy is the only person on Earth who

I would sincerely like Andy Easton to be banned from this list. He does nothing for us but try to create hatred. His naove, childish attacks on people is neither amusing or intelligent. WHEN was the last time he offered any advice on orchids, which is what this forum is for? All he seems to enjoy

Bill, I have given up my AOS membership 1.5 years ago, and I do not involve myself in AOS politics. However, in any democratic organization, nominations from the floor are normal. Not in the AOS? ok! I did not hurt the AOS financially by my resignation. Andy Easton sent me an eloquent, private,

Well, I have allowed mailings to continue coming from this list, but haven't really looked at them in a long time. I happened to look today and saw the war going on with Andy Easton. It is appalling. I have been growing orchids since age 12 and am now 50. I consider myself to be a major

I'm beginning to feel like Guido. Who the hell is Tom Watson? You know perfectly well who Mr. Watson is, despite the typo. And the stories about when you were in the AOS trainee judging program are the stuff of legend. Alas! My peccadilloes from 20 years ago have come back to haunt me. You
