"The friendliest online community?"

[recycling goddess]

My only comment: If you don't think this is the friendliest reptile community online, you haven't seen the others.

I couldn't agree more!

And as a note: (not directed at the OP as I've never seen any of her posts)...

When you join a new forum remember... you are coming into a 'family' of individuals who already know each other. Chances are they come here daily to hang out. So put your best foot forward.

Make sure you use new paragraphs once in awhile instead of running on forever. A new sentence here and there is nice as well. Makes it so much easier for others to read.

Be sure to use spell check so you sound intelligent and articulate. I find people are more apt to take you seriously when you take your posts seriously.

And above all else... have a sense of humour. Don't take things personally. Sometimes it can be hard to read what someone else is really saying - of course if they are offering cookies and using an assortment of smilies... or it helps to get their mood across.

Just a thought...
