I agree that the intial posting was not well written or thought out. Others' names were dragged into the "discussion" without their knowledge or permission as well.

However, others that responded to the discussion which developed were honestly trying to broach a subject that is emotional to many for varying (and sometimes divergeant) reasons. It is THAT aspect of the deleted portions that should be resurected, in my opinion.

As for me, I only keep corn snakes (though I have had lizzards before too). If, however, I had a site dedicated 98% to corns and only 2% to other species (including a care sheet on iguanas), and you saw that I had written something like . . ."iguanas will flourish on a diet of nothing more than goldfish, but only if they have no UV light exposure," surely you would all realize that I knew nothing of iguanas!

Furthermore, would you not also be skeptical of my expertise in the other areas I covered? I mean, if I am decidedly wrong about something about which you have definite knowledge, how could you ever trust me to be correct on issues about which you have no knowledge?

If I were an "expert" on cornsnakes, but felt the need to dabble in other species as well, and I put forth information that will cause animals to die in those species in which I have dabbled, I would like to think that I would change my care sheets or eliminate them entirely once such information had been brought to my attention. However, it would appear that not all "experts" are so conscientious.

I have tried to set forth my veiws as honestly and forthrightly as I can. I openly invite any remarks made in the same spirit.
