Boggarden orchids (1/1)
Joe
Definitely not an experts group - just a mish-mash of people with a common love of orchids and sharing tips on how to grow better. Some of us have more experience than others and we welcome their contribution but everyone is welcome to post drawing on their own experience. Cheers John "jtill" wrote in message oups.com...

This is an OLD group. A group from the days that ISPs did not support binaries. This is a text only group. Any photo may or may not be scrubbed depending on the ISP and who they interact with. Many servers support portions of our chats. Some have more space dedicated to us than others. The smaller ones scrub the excess - old messages and photos go first. But a photo that squeaks thru kicks out all the things whose space it hogs. At least that is the explanation I have heard before. We are not a new group. Due to the desire to post photos, Kye started a new binaries (primarily) site (alt.binaries.pictures.orchids).we call ABPO. You will find most of us read both groups and often post references her to photos posted there. We maintain the discussion here, partially because some ISPs will not host ABPO. Join us in both, and please post photos over there. SuE http://orchids.legolas.org/gallery/main.php Sue, most know that but some newbies don't and some make mistakes. I think that hammering them rather than explaining limits their participation. Personally I am a lot older than this group, from the time when groups wore long hair and lived in communes, yet the years have left me with a sunny disposition, :-)) (That is a picture) and an intolerance for cranky plank owners, and, being a former Marine, scowles and screams roll off me like water off a ducks back. Now where were we? Oh, if this is an Experts group I am out of here. Joe T aka Julysun Baytown by the Bay |

Who you calling OLD, Sue? *poke*
I don't feel particularly old, although it is remarkable how long this group has lasted without descending into anarchy. Rob Susan Erickson wrote: You have it half right. This is an OLD group.

EXCUSE ME! ROB who are you aging? I said that RGO was old. DId I say you were? oR ME? Heavens... LOL See you at the next show... This time I am going to find you. Dunno... Starting to feel old, myself, though. BTW were you in Madison for the Feb.. show? Where are you judging on the road next? Since St Louis is not a show, are you going to AOS? Madison always conflicts with a local show, so I don't get there very often. Next road show (or any show, I think) for me is probably Milwaukee. I don't know that I can justify going to St. Louis just for a business meeting. Must be some rich retired people in AOS who can afford to do that, I can't afford it.
