    So this is the same project that Locascio has been posting on for a couple days? If it is, is there a way those posts could be put in a sticky or something? Or just a way to for other forum members to access the sections before it is complete?

    "This type of response is off topic, and seems postured at a more personal level. A simple PM addressing your concerns would seem more appropiate in maintaing the integrity of the thread." May have been aimed at another post. idk. Just wanted to make sure everyone knew that I wasn't leveling anything at anyone personally, just asking for clarification same as I would on any other thread.

    Yeah, it's not a problem (much better than some of the scientific journal papers I have to hack through), I was just saying that it may be a reason for the lack of responses since it is a very different tone from what typically gets posted here.

    Lol! Scientific journals. Now there's some DRY reading.

    Locascio is taking information from books from breeders and hobbiests. Not really something we were working on. I believe he posted that information to help with what Hank is working on. He added where the info came from at the bottom of each post. I cant really stickey that info. I believe permission may be needed to do so.

    Well the thread has definitely 'drifted' now. I honestly wasn't sure WTH was being asked because Hanks vernacular comes across as a way to achieve a type of personal satisfaction gained from everyone else's perceived ......lack of professionalism??? Lol. I do come here for entertainment. It comes in the form of information, the opportunity to help others, looking at everyone's pics, and occasionally conducting mild trolling operations against people I think are funny. This is social media. Its suppose to be fun. I like when people put out great info and take steps to clarify all the misinformation that is prevalent in this hobby. I don't like people with a distinct lack of personality. To request info, respond to posts, start threads that are pretty ambiguous etc. For what seems like the sole purpose of validating that you are the most important source of this information, on a SOCIAL MEDIA OUTLET, and that actually detracts from any potential gain by the majority of members reading the content, is on a whole detrimental to the community and should be moderated the same as bad behavior IMO.

    No attack here. Just using my right to opine via social media.

    Just because someones personality differs from yours DeeDub doesn't provoke any need to be Moderated. I enjoy a laugh on here as well, but the mojority of the time right in the middle of a thread where someone's frog is dying and assistance is very much needed a CHUCKLE is completely ot needed and derails the thread off what it's purpose was in the first place.

    It happens here SSSOOOOOOO much. Don't worry about any attack. I don't see one, but you can't always expect everyone to explain why their personality is the way it is. I understand where you're coming from though.
