International Aroid Society

I recently swore off forums.

My opionion is that it is very obsessive/compulsive

and even if you are not, many members are compulsive

because forums attract that. <sorry>

Since I could not get my money back for stupidly having

paid to be a member of one, I do use it to access one of

our knowledgeable members about a plant we both have

passion for. That is because it is so easy to post a pic and

ask a question.

No more forums for me.

Now, for those of you that are going to ask........... Yes, I did leave UBC just over one year ago and swore never to return. One poster took it upon themselves to be less than kind in some of their posts and made some very strong accusations. I'm not sure why, but the moderators didn't take those down as they normally do. I have little use for such combativeness in any on-line forum and my current approach is simply not to respond. After I left I had a lot of mail asking me to return and elected to do so about four months ago. I have enjoyed all the exchanges since I returned. So now you know!
