A couple of comments:

1) Who uses dialup these days? Folks really should join the present as we
move to the future.

2) Might a "rec.gardens.orchids.photos" group pass muster?

Hi Ray

Looks like your other option is to subscribe to a commercial Newsgroup
provider. I do as my ISP's Newsgroup postings are poor and disappear
after a few days.

Let's do this democratically - see how many people object and let's go
with the majority position.

I have no objection to you posting to RGO. My understanding is that no
pictures are posted to RGO as some people are still using slow dial up
options. Most people can see the size of the posting and can choose
whether to view or not. In fact, having all the photos and discussion
together would probably work better anyway.

If this option is chosen, perhaps we should place some voluntary limits on
the size of photos posted so everyone can view even if they don't have
fast Internet connections.

John
