: I'll be willing to bet even Andy is thinking 'so what does that mean'. Yes, Andy has been around a while and Andy is a great champion of the turtles and tortoises (sorry Andy) but he is far from the only authority out there. >>

Hmm.. actually, I don't consider myself an "authority" at all. In fact, I feel I know less now than I did 10 years ago.... these are enigmatic animals, and we have barely scratched the surface. We're all just learning. We have a long way to go.

I'm continually revising what I thought I knew... and I'm sure everyone who works with these animals finds the same. The main thing is to keep an open mind, be rigorous and critical, and to keep your eyes open too.

The only thing I disagree with in this thread is that someone called me "old"!!!!!!!! (And here I was thinking I only felt that way...)

Regards,

Andy
