I would surely like more information before I pass judgement. As of now, too little information. ___ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) orchids@orchidguide.com http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
[OGD] World Orchid Society
I for one would like to see a less elitist type of society for the average Joe. Most newbies are turned off by the egos, the over-their-heads information. It's hard enough to get them to show up the first time. I think there is too much me and not enough you orientation. One person's opinion. Don't hit me.

[OGD] World Orchid Society
I have corresponded briefly with both Daryl, and with Tom Roberts, the Editor of their magazine. Like Kenneth, I did a whois on the domain to find Daryl, and then I wrote him. Being moderately cynical when it comes to human institutions, I was curious about what might set the WOS apart from some of the other Orchid institutions, so I e-mailed back and asked why their vision did not address the failures of many of these organizations to TRULY further the best interests of their membership; for me, that was going to be a critical litmus-test for whether I could support a new society, because I was feeling frustrated with other Orchid Instituions right now, that I felt were not responsive to the needs of the membership ... at first, it didn't really seem that they got it ... and I figured it was just another group that wanted to run their own little universe ... but after a couple rounds of e-mails, I think they would like to see it be different. I think the problems with these institutions are rooted in the human condition, I think these folks mean well, but I remain skeptical. I wish them the best of luck though. The virtual end of noblesse oblige in the US, and the aging of the me generation is wreaking havoc with social institutions in general. I am sure we all (in the US) have seen a decline in the quality of our local affiliate (orchid) societies in the last ten or twenty years; indeed, many are in danger of evaporation ... people seem unwilling to give back to the community, unless there is something, (usually a LOT) in it for them. So you often see people with financial or personal (ego) reasons, running local affiliates with their own agenda, regardless of declining membership ... Anybody have a more optimistic view? I would actually like to be wrong here. rob't ___ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) orchids@orchidguide.com http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com

Has anyone got any information about the new upcoming World Orchid Society? I googled the homepage (you can do that, too) and see that they intend on publishing a magazine 10x/yr (every 5 weeks) and are requesting high rez digital photos and articles. No mention of who or what is behind (or founders of) this endeavor. My question is: what's their street cred? Who are these guys? K Barrett N Calif, USA _ Dont just search. Find.
