Over the years I've reacted to the fact that people tend to read what they WANT to read and do not see through the meaning of what is written ( or said, for that matter ). It is even more evident on the internet than before, since written words are " flat ", were you can't easily add feelings. A joke or whatever can easily be read as sarcastic, malicios or whatever.

With this sidetrack, back to your point and some reactions on what was written. I agree fully that it would be nice to have them here, even on a regular basis, since they DO have a lot to teach us, as do everybody else here. Travis said that this forum have more knowledge than MK does. Maybe ( probably ) it does, but that doesn't mean that she ( or anyone else )couldn't contribute. I agree that she can be arrogant ( I've received it too ), but hey, for those who might remember, I got that here too, at my first entry! Also, I'm the kind of guy that wants to give a benefit of a doubt, i.e. give people a chance. I mean that give the arrogants a chance and if it doesn't work shove them down the drains ( only joking ). But, I think that the extreme knowledge in this forum might just be what could alter her, since the objectives would be her overwhelming and may soften her ( OK, I know I may be out in the blue here, sorry :-) ). If not, she would not find it funny to stay, so at least she would get a chance!?

Another thing..Travis!....be VERY careful with what you write...what I'm referring to are your examples on how animals can be kept and still feel well. There are a lot of people out there that work as a spong, i.e. sucks up everything. When you say that there are animals that have been fed cricket and carrots and others that have eaten dry food their entire life and still are healthy then some people WILL think...OK so that might work, I'll try that!!!! Since you have to talk about experience and years of this and that, I might as well explain where I'm coming from....20 years of working with exotic animals at a zoo ( primarily reptiles ) and 5 years at an animal hospital and still I don't see myself as an expert on these animals, far from it!! Eventhough I can say without hesitation, that there are A+ animals and there are E- animals. The A+ animals you can do anything to and they just prosper and walk through life with a smile, the E- animals they die as soon as you alter anything in their lives. Then you have the big group, the animals in between, which are the animals we mostly have, that definitly will suffer ( mildely to severly )if they are not kept right.

Maybe I'm out of it, and maybe I'm just talking so no one understand what I mean here, but what the h***

All for now
