Actually I don't think Mike is our enemy or anyone's enemy that I know of . He has a job to do and he doesn't have the permission to say more than he did. If he could he would but also he needs a job as all of us do. From the brief amount of correspondance I've had with him he has always been helpful, curteous, and proffessional. Don't let our frustrations be taken out on innocent folks. Right now everyone is upset and rightly so BUT we have to conduct ourselves in a proffessional and curteous manner. Dr. Mazzoti himself suggested that they could use our help in solving the Burmese problem and that he thinks a ban is not necessary and wouldn't solve anything. It appears to me an olive branch has been thrown our way and in fact we should be working with them for the good of all. This includes the ENP ecosystem, the Herp Industry, and the Scientist working on the issues. My biggest concern is the Everglades Wilderness Area and the rest is secondary. At this point lets be courteous and I freely offer my help in any way I might be needed to help with any issues that may arise...Thanks
