Dear Fernando, Toby & al.,

>That was very pointed, Jan. But you may be right (I'm not talking about you,
>Fernando).

I was also not talking about you, Fernando & Toby & all.

>BTW, Jan has already accused me of being a purverted Hard-core porn
>broker,

No no. I did not mean you. All I wanted to point out was some over-reaction
on the side of recent US legislation, which makes it difficult to talk
about such harmless things as orchids or certain Araceae on the internet if
taken literally. Nothing else. No insult intended, really!

Please remember that I am not a native English speaker, so my messages may
inadvertently sound offensive where they merely should make things clear.

Sorry to all whom I have insulted in the past without having realized/meant
it (try to translate my jargon into German and then back to English, and
you will see that it was in fact a compliment!).

Kind regards
Jan
