Funny this is still going.

I think it brings to light an important aspect of the whole thing. Most of the folks who frequent (and those who browse) the forum are PASSIONATE (aka addicted) about the natural world in many ways besides just orchids. We cant help it, its in our blood. Most of us have been this way since were kids. We love nature, animals and the natural world. Many of us have pets. Whether it be cats, fish, dogs, horses, reptiles, amphibians, birds, Madagascaran Hissing Cockroaches.....whatever.

I dont think anyones intention was to attack the poster of the pic. Unfortunately, the poster may not have realized just how passionate many of us are regarding something like that.

Maybe there should be a 'Nature Freak Crossing' sign posted at the sign-in page warning drivers to proceed with caution.

last comment as i slide off my soapbox. The "if you're squeamish...or a snake lover...DONT look!" is like saying, "dont think about purple elephants" Quit it, i said DONT!
