Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

you all are forgetting one thing
Honesty
HONESTY
honesty
You know grammer is a 'sometimes' indication of who you are dealing with, the person can be the most honest person around and mis-spell a few words
And on the other side of the coin the person can be grammer perfect and rip you completely off.
granted spelling errors and all that can be an indication of what you are getting into, this isn't allways the case
I have delt with a few people that have made grammer errors to kill for, they still presented themselves with the ut-most honesty and care for the animals that they may present to you.
It's all how 'you' feel about dealing with these people

John,
I totally agree with you on that. However, those people whom I know aren't the best spellers are people who I do business with IN PERSON or over the phone only and people that I have known for some time, so I know about their funky typographical quirks. It is the people that I don't know that cannot even spell the animals they are selling...and in some cases their own names right that I won't do business with. If the first time I see someone's name is an ad full of spelling and grammar mistakes, they will not see my business.
And although many scammers out there type well, if I were to get scammed by one, at least it makes me feel like I got burned by someone with half a brain instead of some idiot who can't even spell SNAKE right.
Cheers!

John.... My English teacher had NOTHING to do with it!.... The BEST way of increasing your vocabulary, and at the same time, teach your BRAIN how to see things in a different light (sometimes).... is to do CROSSWORD PUZZLES.... WITH a dictionary by your side to look up the words you THINK you know??.... You will be AMAZED at the things you can learn by doing them.... and they're FUN! Start with the easy one's, and work your way up....
As far as CAPS and my (.... ), are concerned.... THAT'S called.... "Literary License"!.... but, you'll notice.... they're ALL the same!.... (4 and a space).... lol

Actually, I believe an is the correct article to use when placed directly before a word beginning with the letter 'h'. It doesn't flow as nicely in speech, but saying things like 'an historic occasion' is perfectly correct grammar.
Yeah, it's nitpicky, but hey...
Just to keep in spirit, I've seen ads that list 'tribble hets', 'gost corns', and even 'cron snaks'. It just cracks me up.
