Whose wonderful idea was it to put together the CD of old orchid books? They
deserve a medal! I was tempted to buy one myself, but my credit card's fee
for exchanging money is twice the cost of the CD, LOL!! I tell you these
banks make money hand over fist.

As another non American and one who edits a couple of on line orchid
newsletters, I would like to point out that most (If not all) orchid
publications these days, cannot afford to pay for articles that they
publish. The result of this is that they (We) grasp at any free offer
that comes our way. And these are few and far between. If you want to
improve the quality of the magazine/newsletter that you usually get,
then have a little input instead of carping from the sidelines. When
was the last time you wrote something that was published?

I am not trying to be an apologist for the AOS or any other
organisation but if you don't like the output, try a little input.
