Re: Aroid-L Digest, Vol 207, Issue 21

As a representative of the millennial Aroider generation, I would urge the experts in the group to not fully discount all Facebook groups and other types of social media.

I know the noise there can often be hard to weed through, but there are hundreds of thousands of millenial and Gen Z aroiders around the world that are active mostly, if not only, on there. They range from complete beginners to those farther along on their journeys, and I know they could all use and welcome your expertise. 

Some may be on here as well, but likely they, like me, found the format of the Aroid-L listserv a bit clunky to navigate (it took a bit to figure out how to even open attached photos, since they don't seem to be automatically shown in-line as more modern formats would have them do).

I know the IAS board is working on revamping the website. Perhaps with that, the Aroid-L listserv would be open to being at least upgraded to something that's more easily navigable/searched and utilized.

Best,
Robert

It would be great to have Lord P's input again.

That is a really cute species. Where is it from? How hard is it to grow?

Happy days,
Christopher
