Whoa, someone's deficient in serotonin today. The person was a newbie,
as you stated, so they probably didn't know about the 'no posting of
pictures' rule. Your, much ruder, email was unsolicited. Perhaps at
this point I should verbally insult you for not knowing the Laws of
Thermodynamics (There are 4 by the way, many only know 3, if even that
many)? Why, how ignorant of you!

My advice: chillax! Go for a walk or something, and definitely up your
tryptophan intake. And switch to a faster internet connection. The
reason your PC gets choked with downloads has nothing to do with the
picture, it's your connection. For me, the picture came up instantly.

And to Katherine, I apologize. Most people in this group are very nice
most of the time to most people under most circumstances....mostly.

Cheers,
Xi

Katherine,

Look around on this newsgroup... besides one other inconsiderate moron (now
recovering nicely, who has been rebuked already) do you see anyone else
posting up graphic pictures to this newsgroup? No. Do you know why that
is? Because tradition dictates that newbies (and regulars) don't choke this
newsgroup with their slow-loading stupid inane photographs. This is a
newsgroup of words and ideas not photographs.

In the future show a little consideration and don't be so rude next time.

Photos belong on the newsgroup
alt.binaries.pictures.orchids
not here... regardless of your concern over normal simple occurring kiekis.

Help!. If you look at the attached photo- you will see that somehow- don't
ask me how- I have three plants (triplets) growing off the same node of

the

stalk of a Phalaenopsis orchid.

I am concerned because the middle plant is now starting to shrivel...

If anyone can offer some advice I would be very appreciative-

Katherine

Xi,

Eat shit. We don't all live in the big city (like you) where DSL is
available or even a choice. Just because "your" connection downloads fast
does not mean everyone else's connection is superior like yours.

Mick

That's not really my problem now is it? Point is, the newbie didn't
know about the posting rules and it's not her fault, just like you don't
live in a big city with broadband which isn't your fault. With regard
to eating shit, do you realize that while in your mom's womb, you
probably drink a number of litres of your own urine? You'd be surprised
the kinds of things they teach in med school these days. If you would
like to know some more interesting and gross facts about your body, do
tell me.

PS. I don't know what chemical is responsible for one's abilitiy to
decipher sarcasm, but apparently you're running low on that too amongst
other things.

Cheers,
Xi

Broadband is ALWAYS a choice! Try looking into a satellite system. You'll
be writing it off as a business expense anyway!

Mick was not necessarily speaking of himself. We have readers
around the globe. Some of them use older technology.... ie.
modems that run 56K or so. For them and their locations it is
the best efficiency. We have a rule for a reason and ask
everyone to respect it. Our resident ogre does the disciplining
for us. Most of us feel that the errant poster erred out of
ignorance or lack of courtesy. It will not hurt them to be
embarrassed once to save them future failure. If they had read a
day or two they would have seen web page addresses were posted
instead of photos.

Congratulation on the sale Mick.

Fair enough, and I did realize this. I just thought the email sent out
was ruder than necessary to state a simple rule to a newbie.

A child on their first day of school who doesn't know the rules and
speaks out of turn is certainly not shot, correct?

Cheers,
Xi
