Thanks... That was originally a post of mine back around july when I was attempting to convince a new mantis keeper who was leery about feeding live prey to mantises for obscure moral reasons that is was perfectly ok to do so. When Phill mentioned the mantis goddess, a light bulb came on, and I tracked the old post down and pasted it into my sig.
On a more serious note, Im sure most of you have heard me say that I am a mod on a different forum. At one time there were at least three admin and five mods on that board... The admin have all but disappeared, as well as three of the mods, leaving me and one other guy to run the whole board. It is very difficult, and at times I feel like disappearing as well, as there are no perks and it is a selfless and thankless job, not to mention Im not even interested in that hobby anymore. For that reason I hold an extreme amount of respect for the guys who have stuck with this board, and continue to do their job, regardless of the numerous reasons not to.
Peter posted that the calanders are ready to order and wanted us to show our appreaciation for the moderators here via PM! I rather do it where all can see. I do appreaciate the efforts to keep the forum going. I really want to thank you guys for all the time you put into this. I know everyone wants to have a life, and this really must take away from family time, but you do a great job keeping spamers away and I am never afraid to recommend this site to people and their kids. So heres a bunch of hugs for our moderators and some small hugs for the members too
