When did ABPO start? That would have offloaded a lot of traffic from
RGO ...


My guess would be in the summer of 2000? Kye where are you?
How time flies.

As far as the traffic I participate in both groups & the diehards are on
both.
Posting to the binaries does save posting a url with a web page though &
then
there are some that don't have access to it .

I think it increased the traffic. We could now show our pictures
and talk about them at greater length. If you got ABPO you had
the photo. So many times web addresses would not be complete, or
would not open unless you belonged to the club; or had been set
for special public view. With ABPO it was just the initial
hassle with and ISP and your set. I also don't think RGO is
going any where down hill. Every year we get some quiet time and
some not so quiet times. Spring has sprung I just found a couple
of blooming surprises and Rhynchostylis gigantea has two spikes.
I can hardly believe it. Oh, and I saw the start of a spike on
a new Bulbo.

Now all I have to do is get thru Tax season.

We actually already had our spring here in Washington DC (or so it seemed),
but now winter is back with a vengance. Brrrr.

I did not say it was warm. Only that there is hope in the
tunnel. The wake up call has been heard in the GH. The nobile
den. are in bud.

Ah, Spring! It was 72 here today, but the last couple of nights have been
too cold for the Vandas, so into the bathroom and guest room they went. Out
today for some water, and back in an hour ago to avoid the coming 40 degrees
we expect tonight. The only one who thinks this process is an adventure is
Casper the Cat. All those roots to chase!

OTOH, yes, a couple of the Nobiles have buds peeking out. Can aggregatum be
far behind? And does anyone have anything to say about Calista Dends?
