Private messages are not for advertising other forums...

I have already privately apologized to the 3 that are in this post already and I would like to apologize to any one else as well.

My intentions were not to steal anyone away from OB but to rather share the news a new forum was started and to come on over and check it out. I did not think making a post would be as appriopiate or personal as a PM but I must have been wrong in my thinking and I am sorry if I made anyone mad.

Just to clear one thing though...I WAS NOT and had no intentions or even applying that you should leave OB and come over to OI. My mesage (pasted below) was plan and simple but taken the wrong way...sorry everyone

I would like to invite you to check out and join in the fun of a new orchid forum. It is fast becoming a great place to talk about orchids, share pictures, and meet new (and old) friends who have the same interests as you. I have learned so much from the people who participate there I consider it one of my most valuable resources that I would not want to live without.

Join in and see for yourself..... Hope to see you there,
Tom

P.S. If you do register please be sure to add Tom_in_PA as the person who referred you to the forum because there is a membership drive currently and I could use the referrals

P.S.S. This message is not intended to steal you from OB forum but rather to give everyone a new sandbox to play in to meet both new and old friends

No worries, Tom. I have not joined but I did check out the forum. Looks like you're in the lead anyway with recruitment so maybe you'll still win that $100 gift certificate from Andy's! It's all for the love of orchids.
