This is the best forum!

Thank you, Shanley... it's true, I am wonderful.
Our forum is the best and I think we can keep it that way, and even improve it. As Stefan rightly points out, some people struggle occassionally to remain diplomatic (myself included) when certain topics arise, but I think we can discuss these topics in an adult manner without hurting each other. In fact I think we should make a point of discussing these more controvertial subjects as often as possible... nothing should be taboo.... as long as we remain nice to each other.

You can not please all the people all the time!
Have you been to other forums? "Flaming" is the norm on most of them. I just talked to Brian Hubbs last night. He just joined this forum & he said everyone here seems to be nice. Hubbs is a well known kingsnake author & photographer & if you know him, that is alot coming from him. One thing I appriciate about this site is how weather a novice or advanced, all are welcome. We can choose which threads to read or pass. We have that choice with the number of post made here daily. I think "Garter Snake People" are different than other "Snake People", but maybe that is a good thing I think this is the one site that I have never got upset after visiting.
Sincerely, Jerry<><
