Dear GOD!!! His FAQs still WORK!! Quick!! COPY THEM!!!

It's awful nice they didn't kill them at New Mexico Tech; as it
is, I'm pretty sure I lost one or two during a major disk crash they had
(which is why the dates are all the same- 11/19/98, which is when they
were restored from tape. Still, one or two of the files I found were
empty, and for some reason they weren't archived. I carried a copy of the
FAQs when I left NMT in '00 on a Zip disk; they're also archived on the
curernt OSP page (www.orchidseed.com), under "Technical Data" (in the "A
Mirror of the New Mexico Tech orchid info FTP site").

"Rule number one: No pets. If you have any cats, they must be
removed from the house. Orchids are allergic to cats. Some dogs are okay,
others are not, but it's just as well to remove them all, in case the
orchids don't enjoy a different kind of bark."

You can't get that kind of humor without being a sleep-deprived
graduate student. You really can't. And that's a good thing.

No e-mail to the address in the header. It's a spam trap.

And all these years I thought the rule was if you grew Orchids
you had to have 2 cats minimum. I think well over 80% of the
orchid people I know have cats. Not necessarily free to tour the
gh or orchid room. They just have them sharing the house.
