Thanks Nalini and and Gurcharan ji for opening out with your views Initially i was also of the opinion that too many Thank you messages are pouring and also getting counted in a total tally is not good for getting the numbers. Gurcharan ji has raised a valid point which I liked. Appreciation has essential part in every-bodies life. By just appreciating one can extract hidden talents and many unknown facts from many members esp. those who are reluctant to post. See the posts from those who joined recently. Some of them are posting plants which are ordinary or much discussed earlier still they got encouragemnt because of the IDs and responses. At the same time many members including me got the information of those plants esp garden plants. Long live Efloraindia
