    Don't go back into hiding!  No one is blaming you for anything; in
    fact, there's no blame to be attached.  Orchid thrives not only on
    the sharing of sources and techniques but on the open exchange of
    ideas and concepts.  If sometimes that leads to debate or
    controversy, that's okay!  As long as we all remember basic
    courtesies, Orchid will continue to thrive. 

    I'm sorry you feel intimidated but I don't quite know why you do. 
    You asked a question which sparked a lot of discussion and led to a
    disagreement. There's nothing wrong with that.  In fact, I would urge
    you to stick around and do it again! 

Cheers,  
Beth
