"If you love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom--go from us in peace. We ask not your counsel or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen! -------Samuel Adams


Interested in more down to earth, realistic information on Lamas?

If your main interest is Alpacas, Alpacasite is located on Yahoo Groups-as the name implies, aimed mainly at providing alpaca related information but the medical information and much of the fiber information applies to all Lamas.

Various discussion groups are housed on LSoft.   A search will give multiple choices.

Yahoo Groups is home to various other lama related groups including fiber and packing.  A search of Yahoo Groups should give plenty to choose from.
