Hi Jim, Other than contributing an article about Trilliums to 'Bulbs' a couple of years ago my interaction with, and knowledge of, the IBS has been minimal. Of course I have heard all the various rumblings but didn't have any first-hand encounters until now. Clearly the IBS has major issues. A number of PBS members have emailed me with suggestions regarding the back issues, and have been very helpful, for which I'm grateful. Regarding the IBS itself, Herb Kelly, a member of the BOD, has been the only one to contact me. He responded to me very quickly, has been as helpful as possible and done his best to get my request sorted out. He's also asked for information to help him get to the bottom of the problems I encountered with the web site and out-dated publications order form. All the best, J.
