I agree. It's not only the time and experience, but a strong desire to be successful that also counts. Unfortunately, the biggest problem with inexperience is that the person does not know that they do not know. No amount of passion can make up for the wisdom that comes with experience.
The WMAS was formed to promote education and responsibility in caring for our wet pets. I'm sorry if it offends but I would be remiss in carrying out the WMAS Mission if I did not speak up. I don't keep Seahorses, so I don't have much to say about their care, but I helped by giving the names of two excellent hobbyists that you can contact to correct the misinformation that exists on the www.

| While I agree that it its your responsibility as a pres member to carry out wmas mission. I thimk there is a certain dialect and tone you should have when doing so. To be offensive and rude it represents wmas poorly. This person came here for help. So if its something you have no experience with then why not let someone chime in that does. If you say rude things all that will do is turn people off to wmas. Then they will be left with getting that misinformation that exists on the www and that my friend goes against wmas's mission.

Thanks for the feedback. I'd have to say that my biggest problem here is not knowing when I'm being offensive and rude. My wife points this out to me all the time, reminding me that it is a family trait. I hope you all will forgive me. I'm working on it.

I am not one to stay mad or even really get mad at people. I try to look at the positive side it makes life better. I understand you had good intentions and i thank you for that.
