Viateur provided us with a Herald Tribune quote: http://www.heraldtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051106/NEWS/511060892/1060/INDEX01
in which the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens was reported in the following terms: ".... the Orchid Identification Center, the only place in the world where people send photos of orchids for classification." Oh Yeah ? So maybe I don't exist ? .... no, can't be right. I email, therefore I am. My non-existance has been somewhat exaggerated recently. (Sorry Andy, better luck next time). So maybe I imagined all those photos of orchids I get sent for identification ? No, they exist, therefore they are. Aha ... I worked it out ! It is a subtle South Florida plot to make me feel vindicated ! I've been saying for ages that, from a USA perspective, anything that happens outside the USA doesn't matter and just it isn't worth bothering about. This article confirms that I WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG !!!! But in that case, why is Mr Stig Dalström planning on travelling to Thailand, since it is outside the USA and therefore not worth bothering about ? Maybe it is because he was Swedish, so he knows better. But in that case, why has he allowed his name to be attached to such utter crap ? Confused in Singapore, Peter O'Byrne. Another war-criminal down, several more to go. Keep up the good work ! _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) orchids@orchidguide.com http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
