Ask a question, get an answer! Guys, I've known Fred for a while, and if you ask him a question, you will get nothing but honesty and his opinion. So why, if you were gonna ask, do you get so whiny when the answer happens not to be what you wanted to hear?
Too many guys would have said, "Oh yeah, yuck, yuck, a King\Indigo cross would be cool!" The bottom line is that Fred is right....and he never posted your name, which was professional courtesy. Personally, just knowing that you even CONSIDERED taking thes animals would preclude me from buying ANYTHING from you.....and you might be a really cool person with good stuff, but your reputation was tainted because somebody heard you MIGHT have hybrid Indigos.
That didn't have to be known until you revealed your name for all to see......so any damage done here was by yourself, to yourself!
To got to Fred for an opinion because you respected what he had to say indicates he must have some expertise in your eyes in the first place..just 'cuz he said something you didn't want to hear (that came straight from his heart because he is in this hobby for the love, not the $), doesn't mean all of sudden that his opinion is invalid and unprofessional.
I for one am SO sick of seeing genetically screwed up snakes that don't breed and have no traceability to their lineage. If you do trade for 'em let us know...we'll take up a collection, buy them from you, and then put 'em down for good.
Acceptance of these animals into your collection is approval of their existence. And the biggest problem is integrity....I don't question yours at all...unless you reproduce them......and ultimately, will the 16 year old kid that buys one truly represent it for what it is when he gets bored with it and sells it to a pet store?

Just my .02
