Sorry, but I had to respond to this letter.  I am not trying to step on any
toes, but this really bothered me.  It's disturbing to see someone giving
descriptive mating advice on a mailing list.  Not that there is anything
wrong with the process, I'm a vet tech, so that's not the point.  But I
thought that the FML was for ferret people- sharing ferret tips, and stories
about their own fuzzbutts, to share medical knowledge, etc.  I can
understand that if a person asks a question about mating, and you have the
knowledge, it's great to respond to them, but why not just directly to their
email address?  Being in the medical profession, I listen and can
understand, professional, to the point advice.  But I guess, it's a bit
unsettling the style and manner of the description in this letter.  There is
clearly more detail that I needed, unsuspectingly, to hear; while in the
midst of reading other more practical information.
 
Sorry, but had to put my 0.02 cents in about this one. Dooks to all!
