He has spammed users of this forum in e-mail promoting his site, spoofing the addresses of others to make it look as if the e-mail seemingly came from them (I got a supposed e-mail from Aaron Hicks asking me to check out the site). He has also stolen copyrighted pictures and cultural notes from sites such as www.orchidweb.com (he now hides those behind a username/password/registration, so it's harder to find them). He even (for awhile), put the American Orchid Society forum in a frame, making it look as if he was hosting that forum. I also have a very strong feeling that "Pete" who posted to this newsgroup is none other than the owner of this site. Do not support this site in any fashion! ---Prem www.premdesign.com |

The question that comes to mind is WHY?
Why do I need another orchid forum? This one has a wealth of nice people and knowledge. Between the knowledge here and google, there is little information that is known about orchids that's not available at my fingertips. Hmmmm....and best of all it's free! Good Growing, Gene |

My apologies for that, Pete...the owner of orchidgreenhouse.com is known to post "anonymous" messages to newsgroups, pretending just to be some guy who found his "wonderful" site. I still stand by all my other statements...the owner of this web site is bad news, all around. He's many times worse than that Spike character from gardenweb. ---Prem www.premdesign.com |

Prem,
That's ok, no apologies needed. Anyway, I have registered with that forum to see for myself and I like it so far, nice software and some more people have joined. Cheers!

Here, Here! And where would I get the time for another forum? I'm so far
behind in repotting, etc., that I probably shouldn't even be in this one. But I love it here, with our virtual family! Diana |
