Cantspell thread here.

Thanks for the link Al. Can't even get through the first page without LMFAO , I'll catch up on the rest shortly.

I do plenty of face to face business...and it is all fine and good...
But there are definitely more people in the herp industry that I would trust that are out of state and unABLE to do business with me face to face than there are in my area that I would trust...
And I live in Chicago...third largest city in the US...PLENTY of people here to do business with...
I see as much scamming going on at shows as I see on the internet...
Good people there too...

Having an internet business makes you viable NATIONWIDE or even INTERNATIONALLY if you are so inclined to do the mounds of paperwork import/export requires. Why limit yourself to a few locals? It has nothing to do with "willing to do business"...
I have driven many hours to do business face to face with people...
And they have done the same for me...

Besides...you are here posting...have you sunken to "our" level?

He's also one of the many people who worked hard to make the Columbia SC show a success.

Okay, Thanks. That actually does help. Between this info and Al's link to the other thread, I think I can now put these series of posts, in the right context.

Excellent points Derek. I didn't bother saying so previously but I did zap this clown and let him know what I thought privately.

What's with all the kitchen utensiles and their cries of unequality of late? Whether you're a pot, kettle or soupspoon, your purpose is the same; do right, be honest, enjoy.

Kitchen Racism, is it the NEW bane of the reptile world?

Absolutely True...
So much animosity and dischord in the ranks...
No wonder our industry has a hard time advancing...

maybe I need to spend more time thinking of what I posted here. I did not mean to sound like I am calling US losers, just that some of us are real busy with local buisness to think about spelling and stuff. Including myself I consider most of the people here real good people. with very profesional ethic's and some I don't. I guess I felt a little offended when I read the post about spelling and maybe felt like it was partially aimed twords myself. so I fired back even though I probably should not have. I have to apologize to anyone who took this the wrong way. I guess I was just kinda grumpy and firing off at the fingers. my fault guy's !!!!!!! I have agreed with what alot of you said in the past especially you Wes you make me laugh more than anyone. anyway I meant nothing about peoples buisness ethics I was just taking a defensive edge.

So this is my way of saying sorry to wes and everyone else who took what I said to the heart. I APOLOGIZE PUBLICLY.
