and hopefully to others. I was replying to Bourbon and the message became a reply to everyone who paticipates in this forum. It got really really long and didn't pertain to the question that Bourbon was answering so I decided to copy and paste to a new post. Well I hit ctrl-v instead of ctrl-c and had a nice url address where my 500 word essay used to be. Sad since I'm an IT person by profession. I tried to re-write it but the feeling just wasn't the same anymore. So the shorter version.

This type of forum is invaluable to everyone be they experienced, in-experienced, or just Curious.

A few yeas ago this kind of sharing of knowledge and experience was impossible.

We cannot afford to lose people because they are afraid to be embarassed, ridiculed or chastised for their thoughts and opinions be they experienced, in-experienced, or just Curious.

Before posting think how you would feel if your message were sent to you. Stick to your beliefs but remember a slap rarely helps anyone "see the light" and most often they will slap back or leave.

We need each other, admit it or not it's true.

This has been general but for Gliders specifically, look on the web and in the magazines, the money is there so these animals will continue to be offered to the public. Without this free exchange of ideas many more of these animals will die.

And one more Kudo, if I love my children as much as you love your Gliders (I know...they ARE your children) I can't help bet be a great parent.

For those of you that made it here thanks for listening and thanks for all the help you've given me.
