Wendy7 is Space Pirate-Khan!
I think you're correct on all points, Steve. But I really didn't expect any
anger here. It was such silly stuff that I thought everyone would laugh, and
they did. G

I'm kind of surprised that this thread didn't turn toward anger about this
person stealing our words. I'm OK with it. I guess we are even more mellow
these days than I thought.
Here's what I'm thinking about this. I think this person wanted to start a
new forum but nobody came to his party. Who would bother to post to a
forum that nobody is using? So, to get things going, he made the forum
look busy by borrowing a bunch of our posts.
Now, maybe he did borrow from elsewhere, also, or maybe the "other" posts
were actually posted right there by people now using the forum.
If there are people actually using it now, they must be thinking 2 things.
1. People sure pick weird names around here.
2. People sure are rude here. The original poster never comes back to
thank us for answers and replies.

Yes, it *is* wierd. And I'm sure you're right about drawing from
elsewhere, too. Lots of stuff I didn't recognize.

Can you find some other renamed rgo posters? I'd love to know what they
call
Al and Mick!

Isn't that the weirdest website? I found it a while back while
searching for something I remember reading on rgo years ago. It goes
back a long time. I thought, "Wait a minute, *I* wrote that..."
Anyway, the names change from post to post as do the pictures
associated with "me". Not that "AL" is my real name either....at
least not on any planet but this one.... :-)
It also seems to draw material from other orchid related forums too.
At least I saw things there that I don't think were ever published
here.
