: I don't have time to go into detail now, but I wanted to ask everyone : to please think when they are writing letters to sources with bad information. : I recently learned that NIAD is getting a bad reputation in some places because : of a "militant" attitude. I really do not like the sound of this. If you want to : send a letter please visit Melissa Kaplan's page on effective letter writing and ask : someone else to read your letter also. I find it helpful to write, save the message as : draft, and then go back later when I have calmed down to edit and revise the letter. : I know we have all sent letters like this at one time or another, but if you are : representing NIAD please use common sense. Some really active states reply on their : reputation as a peaceful education organization to get free tables at reptile shows. Since : other organizations are charged $25 to $300 per table, we are very lucky that the hosts of these : events are donating tables to our cause. I would hate for that to happen because a few people e-mailed : before they thought about their words. : Thanks. : Argiope : International NIAD Coordinator
