Hi folks,
In my ongoing efforts to keep every one aware of things important
I am posting this news and message I recieved. Hopefully we shall see
some of you at the meeting? I went last year and it was a lot of fun.
As to the rest of the message. Judge for yourselves. There is
vid of the thieving bugger at work on the collections. What should be
done about folks like this? Some of you out there may think this is old
news, but I am of the opinion that people like this need constant watching
and that thier reputations should preceed them one way or another in every
thing they get up to. There for I am posting this so that any one
contemplating buying/trading plants from him may know where they most
likely originated. He certainly hasn't grown them himself.
These opinions are mine alone BTW and may not be those of any one
listed below, who were certainly not asked whether or not I should post
this on the list. Any heat from this should be directed at me, so that I
can ignore it directly. I post this as a public service announcment for
all the good it may do.
With our collective best intentions at heart,
Andrew

Hi CP colleagues,
This email message is being cc'd to a number of cp people :-)
As we're preparing for our Pacific Northwest Carnivorous Plant show and
sale in Canada, we thought we'd ask if you'd be so kind as to post the
following :
PNWCP Plant Show and Sale
Richmond Nature Park
Westminster Hwy.,
Richmond, B.C.
Sunday July 19, 1998
10 am to 3 pm
We also couldn't help but notice in CARNIVOROUS PLANT ARCHIVE, the scum,
under the alias of:
"danielm@direct.ca" in your plant trading post.
Dan MacDonald is the documented THIEF of (at least) four CP collections
here in Vancouver, North Vancouver, Burnaby and in Surrey B.C., Canada.
One of the topics for the PNWCP July agenda is whether to release
security video footage of Dan and his buddy breaking into and stealing
Nepenthes at one hobbyist's greenhouse. Perhaps you may post this as a
link on your "Busted" subsection of your CP archive homepage.
Feelings up here in the Northwest are still quite sore, and no thanks to
Dan MacDonald, the local club is trying to make a comeback after the past
few years of distrust.
Sorry to bring this nonsense to your attention, but we, as a group felt
it important that hobbyists and growers around the world be aware that
there are lowlife scums in Canada.
Cameron Wong
Vancouver, B.C. Canada
ps. my dad was one of those who Dan ripped off!
