Ant Questions in a PM

[Jenny]

New members very often try to ask ant related questions in a PM thinking of getting a personal answer. This is discouraged, as that is what the forum is for. Questions is what keeps a forum alive. By asking on the forum, it not only helps others but you get a broader range of answers relating to Ant care. It is not fair to keep asking the same person in a PM as they may not know the answer to your question, or view you as being a nuisance.  Somebody else might come up with an answer or an idea that hasn't been thought of.
So please post Ant Care questions on the forum

I make it quite clear to all members who ask for a personal reply service via a PM to me about ants. I will only give answers on the forum, so please do not waste your time sending me a personal question about ant keeping, ant hunting or collecting. I don't wish to offend anyone; but you will NOT GET AN ANSWER regarding anything related to ant subjects, so post them for all to read and offer their knowledge and advice!
This applies to all members, no matter how many posts you have made or what rank you are.

Thank you.
