Well Mick,

That was a rather harsh response to Todd. Do you not remember being a newbie
to the addiction, or has your money, ego, and flasking ability clouded your
memory of those days long ago?

It would be sad to think that only quality growers are allowed in RGO, for
if that were true, could your status as a quality grower be assured? I
wonder? I would hate to think that this is a "select" group in here, and
that only those who condescend to look down there nose at the common grower,
would be allowed to join in on your mockery of those less informed then
oneself. Or perhaps one has lost the notion that one also came from humble
beginnings and at one time also needed to be taught the etiquette of RGO, or
perhaps just common etiquette in general?
Perhaps overlooking the faux-pa of another less informed than oneself, was
missed in your prep school training, maybe you missed it while you were
attending a convention on arrogance.

Or more importantly have you forgotten that ones own focus does not, in any
way reflect the opinion of the entire whole of RGO! Also I wonder is one
obsessing on an individual to give oneself a semblance of control that one
feels is missing in his own life (projecting) Hmmm?

Happy Growing

Jim

Addict Todd Sekanek,

I see this is your fourth foray into RGO in which you have uploaded full
blown graphics to RGO in the last 2 weeks. If I am estimating correctly,
you are an overly exuberant newbie way too excited about your newfound
hobby
and your new camera... and so you feel compelled to **** all over RGO with
your "must see" photographs. Well, I have news for you... your
photographs
are far from the "must see" caliber deserving any notice.

Look around you. Do you see anyone else uploading full graphic images to
this newsgroup? Did you even bother researching out this newsgroup's
traditions prior May 28 to see if RGO was actually receptive to full
graphic
uploads before you started bombing us with your 5 & 10 cent photos readily
available from any 2-bit basic orchid book? This is not a newsgroup for
uploading pictures to... this is a newsgroup of words and thoughts in
short
1-5 KB posts.

If you want to upload graphic images then keep the files on YOUR ISP's
hard
drive and simply give us the URL hyperlink to it in a 1 KB post... don't
choke this newsgroup with your fat run-of-the-mill photographs.

Show a little respect around here and stop crapping all over RGO.

Thanks

Mick

PS, and remember there is NOT always room in a greenhouse for 2-3 more
orchids... using that short-sighted mentality you will soon simply
overwhelm
the greenhouse with orchids (like your space eating $2 Encyclias) and they
all begin to suffer from lack of proper light, moving air and nutrients as
overcrowding grabs hold in a restricted space. Think Quality... not
Quantity and you will grow up to be a smart orchid grower.
