Hello, all,....
after sending both "Medicinenet.com" & "Answers.com" similar emails
on Wed., the 23rd,....I 'surprisingly' received a fast response from
"Answers.com" the following day!(8/24).  Apparently, 'Answers.com'..,
"Licenses Content" from "WebMD", parents to "Medicinenet.com".... They
seemed very "docile" as to their opinion of my email,.  but that is
from them, NOT from their mom & pop; WebMD!
 
My mail to them & their response follows......... Please, everyone
write them also.  Form your own opinion as to "if" you think any action
by WebMD will be taken........

HELLO,..YOUR INFORMATION ON "RABIES" ON "ANSWERS.COM" ARE SERIOUSLY
FLAWED!  THE "DOMESTIC FERRET" IS NOT A "PRIMARY" CARRIER OF THE
RABIES DISEASE.  ALL CDC INFORMATION CONTRADICTS YOUR 'FINDINGS'
CONCLUSIVELY, AND MANY, MANY OTHER "REPUTABLE AGENCIES" CONCUR,
VEHIMENTLY!  MORE INFORMATION WILL BE SUPPLIED TO YOU SOON, CITING
FINDINGS BY GOVERMENT, AND PRIVATE MEDICAL LABS.  PLEASE REVIEW YOUR
INFORMATION ASAP, THE TRUTH MAY BE NOT AS DIFFICULT TO FIND, AS
CERTAINLY YOUR INFO. IS EITHER OUTDATED, OR JUST PLAIN "INCORRECT"!
THE LATTER SHOWING VERY LITTLE FROM YOUR RESEARCH DEPARTMENT.  AND YOU
CALL THIS "RELIABLE CONTENT"??  POOR, AT BEST!
 
I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR 'POSSIBLE',BUT WELCOMED REPLY.
RESPECTFULLY,
JOHN RICH..VINELAND, N.J. 08360.
