Whoa, someone's deficient in serotonin today. The person was a newbie,
as you stated, so they probably didn't know about the 'no posting of
pictures' rule. Your, much ruder, email was unsolicited. Perhaps at
this point I should verbally insult you for not knowing the Laws of
Thermodynamics (There are 4 by the way, many only know 3, if even that
many)? Why, how ignorant of you!

My advice: chillax! Go for a walk or something, and definitely up your
tryptophan intake. And switch to a faster internet connection. The
reason your PC gets choked with downloads has nothing to do with the
picture, it's your connection. For me, the picture came up instantly.

And to Katherine, I apologize. Most people in this group are very nice
most of the time to most people under most circumstances....mostly.

Cheers,
Xi

Katherine,

Look around on this newsgroup... besides one other inconsiderate moron (now
recovering nicely, who has been rebuked already) do you see anyone else
posting up graphic pictures to this newsgroup? No. Do you know why that
is? Because tradition dictates that newbies (and regulars) don't choke this
newsgroup with their slow-loading stupid inane photographs. This is a
newsgroup of words and ideas not photographs.

In the future show a little consideration and don't be so rude next time.

Photos belong on the newsgroup
alt.binaries.pictures.orchids
not here... regardless of your concern over normal simple occurring kiekis.

Help!. If you look at the attached photo- you will see that somehow- don't
ask me how- I have three plants (triplets) growing off the same node of

the

stalk of a Phalaenopsis orchid.

I am concerned because the middle plant is now starting to shrivel...

If anyone can offer some advice I would be very appreciative-

Katherine
