> I agree and have seen these predators on the Metlist waste no time for the first opportunity to begin their IMCA belittling and bashing.Thankfully only a few on there will praise this childish behavior.So to avoid feeding opportunities like this to these individuals, choose your words very carefully before you hit "SEND".
