I'll translate for Brad, "Wow! You guys are producing high-quality webisodes with intelligent discussion and a level of appearance within our community than you will see nowhere else. Its about time we had an outlet that raises the bar and represents not only the field herping community in a way that is more accurate, but also shares with us interesting captive work that is being done."
That is what Brad said, translated by someone who KNOWS that Brad appreciates high-quality work. His own personal work is done the same way.........done right, like HNL is doing with these discussions.
Right, Brad?

Kind of like you posting another one of your amazing photographic pieces of art, and me saying, "Those mountains are ugly". This is after you post an super-creative and groundbreaking level of photographic genius, like you always do. You would know that what I meant by a silly comment about the mountains is actually a HUIGE compliment because I couldn't find anything wrong with the image.
Yeah......that's right.
HNL is a place for a higher level of discussion, just as FHF has been for years. Look for me and Dan to break this thing WIDE OPEN this year. We are moving at a fast pace, waiting for no one, and pushing forward an agenda of education first.
Gotta run, shooting another show in a few minutes! Yes, the time has come for a 24 year veteran of tv news, commercial production, national and international news coverage, to step up and help this community create a new outlook. One of education first.......not the newest ball python morph. Don't care. That is boring and old news. We are here to advance this community, not watch it spin it's wheels. "Dumb it down" ended with HN Magazine, and continues now with HN LIVE. Enjoy the ride!
If you'd like to help advance with community, rather than sit on the sidelines (not you, Brad, this is a general community alert), then please contact me about what you feel needs to be discussed within our community. We WANT the "difficult" topics, not the easy "Show us your new Python morph". Sure, we'll cover those from time to time, they are cool in their own way.......but our theme is education first.......then all that other stuff.
Ah, thanks Brad, I feel better pounding my chest with pride, knowing what we are doing WILL raise the bar in this community. Our FHF members inspire us every day.
