If I were a taxonomist, I would be a lumper!!
That said, having things broken down into more specific topics is a big help when trying to find more general information - especially when its something you are new to and may not know the correct key words to formulate a search.
I guess it comes down to two things, as I see it: 1) Do most people subscribe to forums, so that it would be useful to have a specific one for each area of interest? and 2) the overall strategy of Orchid Board - is it lumping or splitting?  |
That was my reservation and why I posted the questions. Without a "rules" posting at top of the forum, it will become the job of the poster to decide. I would hope we could keep this (so far, testing) forum to the processes and culture of growing on mounts. So if you have a plant that happens to be mounted and in bloom and are posting about the bloom, then it should go under the proper section for that plant?
