Anything remotely related to sansevierias:  their identification, collection

I think there is room for both.  Keeps the discussions lively and varied, as
well as interesting.  The pie thread is a lot of fun; much needed comic
relief.

I am still opposed to two lists.  There are so few of us anyway, why divide
us?  This list should allow room for all mannerly participants.  If everyone
would simply be respectful and have a sense of humor, there would be no need
for two lists.  Everyone is at his or her own place on the journey; we've all
been there.  The amateurs have much to learn from the more experienced among
us, and the old pros will do well to absorb the infectious excitement and
curiosity of the newbies. Leave egos at home.
