Hello everyone!
I just want to thank you all for the enjoyable experience of reading
this newsgroup, where I learn about orchids and many other related
(more or less) topics without the rapidly tiring sniping that goes on
at another orchid list. Yes, sometimes it's amusing - in a sad kind of
way.
Bob Campoli - Philadelphia, Pa

Bob,

You should have been here 6 years ago.... Orrrr, maybe you shouldn't have
been.

Mick

Bob,

It is a pretty cool group. We do, um, have our moments, but for the most
part our virtual family is on good terms. Glad to have you aboard.

Diana

Thankfully he wasn't Mick... I still remember those days with terror and a
weird sense of detachment as if something traumatic had happened.

Kye.

Hmm. I'll have to go research when I first posted here. I don't recall
anything that bad, Kye. Wild and wooly sometimes, but not generally, IIRC.

Diana

Diana,

I may have accidentally given birth to the metal group Lordi (from Finland)
a few years before you showed up on RGO... so don't go too far back.

Mick

Mick, I knew you had a great sense of humour.

John,

His wrath is even greater than his humour... But we like him anyway :)

Kye.

What? Is this a suicide note?

Get your ass in gear and participate, Bob. You've been a great part of the
family in the past, but you've been away for a while.

Yes, I agree it's a great newsgroup. Let's keep it up!

Eew! Yes, those were hairy times...sometimes nearly bloody...

Reka

That's right. Mick may be an occasionally cantankerous, profane, rude, mean
gnome, but he's *our* occasionally cantankerous, profane, rude, mean gnome!
So there!

Rob,

Your beautiful specimen C harrisoniana pollen took on my prized C
harrisoniana var alba. You will be getting your share when the plants are a
little bigger. This should be the best of this species in America for
several years to come. I made the first replate 3 weeks ago and they are
coming along fine.

Great! That means I'll take dibs on happy, sleepy, and doc, in addition
to grumpy!
