    We can't have somebody sitting there all the day and night to moderate all the threads.
    Unfortunately this is what is needed in a public forum. Thats why we need mods. And maybe a few more. Not to babysit, but perhaps when needed lock down a thread or delete until the board can review content. Far too often and I know 1st hand postings can be misinterpreted real fast and spiral out of control. Before you know it, feelings get hurt, friendships are lost, and in some cases businesses can be ruined. IMO this board does need moderators to step in and pull the plug fast as threads start to get off subject or as Jen said out of text of what the website represents. I have many times wondered why certain threads are allowed to stay active.

    Yuma issues - again!

    Yumas are very finiky. The deeper and richer the color the more finiky they can get. I just got in a shipment of a few yumas. I put all of them side by side and withing 2 days could tell which ones would be a problem. So far only one has died and the others all appear to be in great health. In the past I have had them look good for months then all the sudden one day....BAM. Sliming, gooing, and ultimately dieing. This is a problem that every forum talks about but no one has an answer for. It seems like it is a Yuma problem. The Florida rics dont do the same thing in the same manner. I dont think it has anything to do with you as much as the temperment of the yuma. One thing that I have discovered is when they open there mouth and it stays open then thats the one that seems to have the problem. If they have a closed mouth after acclimation then chances are they will be fine. I know this is frustrating for you as it is for me too. Nothing worse then getting in a beautiful Yuma only to watch it melt in a few days or over a few weeks. I will have a few going on ebay this week so maybe if they are within your budget you can get another and try it.

    So it's Chalices now, huh?

    Again, too many problems with the time it takes for them to re-grow into a circle once they have been cut. Almost 9 months later and the one that I cut is down to 4 pieces (out of 9) and only the original center piece is anywhere near being considered "round."
