I enjoyed reading the posts on this thread. Why did I come to OB? ![Scratch chin](http://www.orchidboard.com/community/images/smilies/new/scratchchin.gif) Well, I attend the WOC in Miami, FL. FANTASTIC show, btw. After recovering from all of the sensory overload, I went through my swag bag and found a card about the OB. I joined soon after, as I didn't want to loose the "high" from the WOC so fast. It's been great to browse through galleries and trade orchids and make friends that ooze orchid talk....you guys offer a service - you are easing my spousal unit's pain, as he doesn't have to listen to me blither on about the latest event, bloom, something associated with my hobby/habit! ![Love this site](http://www.orchidboard.com/community/images/smilies/lovesite.gif)

Way cool, Vanessa!
Cheryl and I left a few hundred of the OB promo cards around the venue at the WOC
We asked permission to leave a few at the front table and a few minutes later the lady I had spoken to was looking for us because she needed more

Oh! That was YOU???
Thanks about the avatar ![Smile](http://www.orchidboard.com/community/images/smilies/new/smile.gif)
The bulb is sitting there looking nice but not doing anything at all. As long as it's not turning to mush or something like that, I can be patient
Have a Merry Christmas ![Smile](http://www.orchidboard.com/community/images/smilies/new/smile.gif)

Just found this thread - great idea.
Why did i join? Well I checked this out and a couple of British ones when I was looking for info and you are far friendlier and there seemed to be less cliquishness about the postings - you are always patient. The widespread geographic location of the members appealed to me too - we are all pretty much in the same boat in that respect but it leads to more information about habitat from people who live where orchids grow.
The other thing I like is the quality of the photographs and the enthusiasm of everyone to try and help. Plus the off topic stuff can be fun too.

i like to learn about my chosen hobbies, be they reptiles, orchids, whatever... and I don't take myself too seriously.
I came here after looking at LOTS of orchid sites and found friendly and fun people that didn't make me feel stupid, or think I am a snob or such for not posting alot (i'm actually very shy).... and so here I am.
Thanks OB members for making this such a great forum. ![Very Happy](http://www.orchidboard.com/community/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
