Is this the future of Orchidboard?
It's early Saturday morning, well early for some. I had just finished reading some of the threads to which I had some input. I logged onto the main Orchidboard page to find some new and interesting ORCHID related threads...after all that is what, I believe, most of us are here for, isn't it???? Isn't the intended use of this Board about the "chids"? I come to this Board because of the people, their pictures, their trials and tribulations, to read about the mistakes we all make and how others offer such wonderful, intelligent, insightful and heart-warming compassion towards one another. I was terribly disappointed this morning to find several "FS" items totally unrelated to orchids. I understand this is a public forum and as such is open to anyone for just about anything within certain moral limits. It is my belief that these kinds of items belong on Craig's List or some other sales arena (eBay, etc); the sale of orichids and associated items on this Board is one thing but watches, stereos, CD players, etc belong somewhere else. Having said all of this, I'm sure tempers may rise and that's fine. Expression leads to understanding. This board is for the advancement of our ORCHID interests and knowledge and not for the sale of household items. Just my thoughts and opinions...doesn't make them right or wrong just makes for some healthy discussion.
