I'm pretty sure that Viateur is just a poster of web published orchid
stories. I always guess that he has a saved search on Google News and
every time a new story has the word orchid in it, he gets a notice from
Google and puts it on Orchids@Freelists.
The annoying part is that he puts EVERYTHING on there. If 8 different
publications do yet another story about that Ghost Orchid in the
Corkscrew swamp, he posts them all.
I save a lot of time reading that list by skipping over everything with
his name on it.

Viateur does a lot of posting of synopses from various publications
along with links to the full article. Many are interesting. But I'm
pretty Viateur is not the administrator of OrchidGuide Digest unless
it's a nom de plume. The administrator is Kenneth Bruyninckx, the owner
of Akerne orchids in Belgium. Ray's comment is self evident from this.
Kenneth ran the newsgroup which I think had the same name before
switching to freelists.

Anything I can do, I will, Ray. BTW, I have tried twice to sign on
to Orchids Digest (at Freelists). I get the postings every day in my
inbox but can't seem to join that list. I got as far as a notice
that said I'd receive an email to use for verification, but I never
did get one.

I think the mod's name is spelled Viateur.....Signs everything VB.
