I don't think it's malicious on Lester's part. I just think it's one of the
stupid "this alliance vs. that alliance" things that seem to be going around
in our OS. See, Lester does mainly Cattleya and Phal alliances, and Rolf is
heavy into Oncidiums & Dendrobiums.

No, I have no idea what freaking difference this makes, but I've noticed
traces of this strange rivalry in the OS for awhile now.

Gods I hate politics

You said it. And it's even worse when it involves the societies. In this
neck of the woods, there's a woman who has been active in many societies
over the years, even helping some of them start up. A couple of years ago
she began to make it her life's work to undermine the good relations we
all had. I mean, the stuff she pulls is vindictive, though I find it
childish as well - sometimes her antics are so transparent that she *has*
to know she'll get caught, and she does get caught. In any event, she has
lost all credibility and has only harmed the one society she was trying to
promote. She's harmed herself the most. She sells orchids, and one of the
societies is not having her to their next show because of the trouble she
caused at the last one. Most of the rest of us won't touch her plants with
a ten foot pole.

It's a shame. I'll never understand what pleasure some people take in
causing trouble for others.
