I would have though the word was "flout" not flog. But I should talk:
somebody will to flout me with a wench. ...or flog me with one. That
might be fun, though probably not for the wench.

I have adjusted my header so my comments are only going to this newsgroup
alone (rec.gardens.orchids), rather then being cross-posted to four
newsgroups simultaneously. Even in this newsgroup some of us are more
aware then others of how long and deep the history of some participants go.
But I know that there must be lots of people in rec.gardens who don't have
any idea where any of this is coming from. When they say, "not here please"
they are not speaking of "Here"

And you have to forgive some of us for not joining in often enough to make
it look like we are participating. Believe me there are only so many orchid
questions and answers and comments and even this flare-up is a repeat to
some of us. But to those of you for whom all of this is new: have fun.

If I have to I will squeeze into my old purple spandex wrestling leotard and
step into the ring with you orchid newsgroup yearlings but I assure you that
I have grown considerably larger and though it may be made of a highly
stretchable fabric, the resulting explosion from a rip probably won't be as
humorous as it promises to be at first glance.

I know it is possible that nobody but me cares what my opinion is but I
share it anyway (if somewhat obscurely) because I like to type. And, yes, I
know what I am smoking isn't doing me any good either. I know that if I am
not having fun in the flames here I am at a disadvantage and should get out
fast. I also know that when I get tired of the non-orchid related subject
matter being discussed I have filters that can make it disappear and when I
turn them on it will seem as if I am gone but really it will be you all who
are gone.

In the mean time, in case I need it, I am going to go shake out the wresling
leotard and give it a good once over. If it should explode I don't want
nobody hit in the eye with a moth ball.

If you are reading this, you have read too far.
