Greetings;
You Probably have been noticed that Orchid postings are
coming out slow for the last couple of days…
as you probably know by now, know i I MUST read everything that
comes in before it gets sent back out to the list. Now, the
reason I go through all this is to spare you all from having to
suffer noise, junk mail, spams, repeated signature files, ect…
I filter the would be spaming, format each of the postings, and
generally do what I can to make the list content as clean and
readable as possible. I also try to make sure that the subject
line reflects the message content.
I am doing it by myself, voluntarily without any assistance
whatsoever…:), For the late couple of days I was busy moving
my production facility to a new 6 floors building facility and
preparing my self for the Upcoming Gem and Jewelry in Bangkok.
I had just no time for the internet. No Other excuses…I truly
apologies. All Your messages are safe on my hard disk, nothing
has been lost…:))
Thank You all for your patience and understanding
have a great day
Hanuman
Dear Hanuman:
Please don’t appologize for not staying up nights just to run
this free-of-charge listing service! I’m sure I speak for us all
when I say we appreciate all your trouble. I know I’ve
bennefited from it greatly.
Best wishes;
Steve
Dr. Aspler,
Please don't apologize. I think we all realize that in
providing this forum for us all, you're essentially giving
us, for free, a very large junk of the time of each day,
and of your life's energy. It's a sacrifice you make from
your own dedication to the good of the field, and we all
appreciate it greatly. If your personal or professional
life needs to intrude on your Orchid schedule, it must take
precidence. We all know that and don't begrudge it. And
besides, the worst it can do is cause the discussions to
proceed at a slightly slower and more relaxed pace. This
usually will be a good thing! We can all use to slow down
a little now and then. You too, sir. Please don't ever
let this network prevent you from now and then taking time
to watch a sunrise or suset, smell a flower, or take a
moment of time (or many moments if you need) to yourself.
We don't mind. And you deserve it.

Hi All,
This is a call for a specific kind of help. (without
consulting with Dr. Aspler (Hanuman))
If anyone has a willingness to help Hanuman with the list,
please contact him at service@ganokisn.com. We are talking
work here, but important work.
The mailing list is a monster, and takes (I would imagine
1 hour per day at least) a serious, steady, commitment to
community in order to handle. If someone has the gumption
to seriously commit to this job for a specific period of
time (I think a six month stint would be a start) then not
only would you be contributing to our online village at
Orchid, but giving poor Hanuman a break. My own schedule is
too wierd and full to help out on this job, but there may
be one of us who can commit to this. What do you get from
this? About as much as Hanuman, a knowledge that you made
a difference, changed something, made the world a little
better. Sometimes a little recognition, but mostly a sense
of service. Remember volunteering gets you further on the
wheel of life...
And makes a difference to 2000 plus Orchid members.
This service could be a rotating thing, six months per,
duty done, passed on, giving Hanuman a break.
Consider such a volunteer act as a kind of internet peace
corp activity, on the side of the angels.....
Remember it would be serious work, taken seriously,
carried out well and professionally....
