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 league hobbiest with about 4000 Cattleya alliance plants in a 1680 square foot greenhouse. In spite of this, I hate to tell you folks but they are just a bunch of flowers. If people can't get along when discussing flowers, there is no hope for World peace. We ought to just go ahead and nuke em and get it over with. It's kind of like marriage. You have to be a decent person to start with and then you have to make up your mind to get along. The point is to make other people feel secure, knowledgeable and wanted, not to deride them in order to make yourself feel superior and in control... Unless you get some perverse pleasure from this. So I will respect the people that apologize and commit to getting along. I shall continue to observe.
