    I totally agree with the above statements but that wasn't my point
    in posting the ad for Adorama's lighting package. 

    There is a whole other group of orchidites who don't have the
    experience or the inclination to go and cobble together a light box
    or run down to the local hardware store and buy reflectors and all
    the electrical paraphernalia. Sometimes its just easier to buy a
    pre-made or package deal. That's why the cloud dome is so popular it
    is easy to set up and works well. Not everyone on this forum wants to
    spend a lot of extra time doing the peripheral things that go along
    with this business they would rather get it done and go back to make
    jewelry. 

    There is always a different way to do things. 

    Lets remember that in our discussions. So much of the posts on
    Orchid lately are discussing Semantics rather than dispensing
    information. Is it "ite" or "ate". I know that it makes a difference
    but doe's it have to chewed down to the bone.I have posted a few
    times and in each case they were received with some negative reaction
    because someone thought it might not work or whatever. I am relaying
    what works for me or by someone that I know is doing it that way.
    What we are relaying is our own personal experiences here. Some have
    spent considerable time researching there own particular niche and
    their posts are always interesting. James Binnion's name pops into my
    head first. I will always read his posts. For some others it's do I
    really want to take the time to read something that is not to the
    point. Healthy discussion is great but there have been to many posts
    that are just nit picking without adding anything to the
    conversation. 

    Ok, Noel got me started with her post this morning. I guess I too am
    in a grumpy mood. The weather man is predicting Hot and Humid for
    this weekend and it is my only outdoor show. And no! I don't need
    advice on how to survive an outdoor show. Take it as my .02 cents
    worth and I am now officially off my soap box.
