I think that may have been in 'Orchids' I *think* Roddy Gable wrote a list
of illegal paphs. I went back through my AQs, but only 3-4 years and
couldn't find the list or policy, but know they published a list of
illegals.

Somebody just wrote to me to say that there is a discussion of policy or
guidelines in an old AQ someplace regarding this issue; something that
might be summarized thusly: the policy is that species described since the
1990 ban on the importation of Paphiopedilum species cannot be judged
unless the exhibitor can provide evidence regarding the legality of the
plant in question. (you mean they have something besides pictures in
them?) I will start searching my old AQs shortly but they only go back
to about the year 2000 and they are spread all over the creation... If
anybody can find it and point me at it, I will stop banging my head on
walls at least for a little while.

There are actually quite a few knowledgeable people who either read this
newsgroup or have contact by email with people who do. There's a lot of
connection below the public chatter and I am getting quite a few
interesting emails on this topic.

Does anybody really read any of this crap? :-)

Um, yeah! No more head banging, Al, or we'll have to send someone in with
a wench.
