We've decided to take most of this to direct email.  In comparing the Dr.
Sadler article from the 1997 edition to the Dr Willard article from 1996 we
stand by our assessment.  Not particularly informative.

Interesting double standard.  Your flames are not a problem.  Our comments
are.  Hmm...
 
Zen can be learned about in almost any library.  Its not a ferret topic
really.

You apparently took that far too seriously.  But actually yes.  A ferret
with a better coat will get a better score/grade at any ferret show.
Doesn't make them a better pet though.  Other things that go into a ferrets
ability to do well at shows is skeletal structure, muscle tone, clearness of
color and pattern, symmetry, proportion, temperament, health and maintenance.
 
We're very sorry you have the opinion that we are rude.  We have quite a few
people who have expressed the opposite opinion.  We try very hard to not be
rude.
