Ford,
So naturally, since I love a good search in the archives challenge, I just
had to find out who had given you that advice a few months ago :-) And the
winner who deserves your thanks is ... someone in this archived thread:

Thanks for reminding me of the Hitchhiker's Guide ... got to go reread it.
For anyone who has not read it yet, it's one of the best books ever written,
and Ford Perfect chose his name because he is really an alien and he wanted
to blend in, so he chose a very common name, and you've got to read the book
if you haven't yet. I assume Al has, right? I mean with the aliens in your
backyard, and the aluminum rabbit ears and all that, right?

A few months ago I asked about a rotting L.discolor well thanks to the
advice someone on this group gave me (sorry I've forgotten who) I've
now got two small but well rooted Jewel orchids.
Thanks again guys.

In that case thanks to Ray, Larry Dighera and John Talpa.
This has got to be one of the friendliest and helpful NG's
Joanna if you like the guide checkout
