Earlier today I read a thread where my good friend Jamie was taunted.

I did not start ths thread to discuss that ..but to comment on something that was said and I didn't get the chance to reply before the thread was locked.

It was said that Jamie is not an asset to this community.

but I have to disagree.

When I first started posting on bpnet I was actually offended by Jamie...on more than one occassion. But the more I read of his posts the more I saw me..in him. It wasn't what he said yet how he said it. Jamie doesn't beat around the bush and play games. He is very direct. He tells it like it is and if it isn't all sunshine and butterflies...well then people don't want to hear it. I like that in a person.

also...Jamie has made many valuable post to help other members of this community ranging from basic husbandry to genetics and even has had at least 2 of his threads stickied. He has been a strong posting member of this community since 8/04.

Jamie is not just another member on this site to me . He is a real friend to me and I for one think he is a HUGE asset to this community.

Jamie has taken many phone calls from me at ALL hours of the day and night to help me with my snakes...and even somtimes with my life.

I wish there were more people out there like him.

love ya Jamies!!!
