Thank you for your opinion, you are certainly entitled but why just my post? I find it odd that you speculated on mine and not any of the others that were major flames. Particularly the name-calling posts. I don't know you and you don't know me. It appears that from both the FML and my private email box, there are many who feel as I do. Not that the "majority" rules, I have never subscribed to that. By the way, I have been "floored" myself, especially that anyone would post my name and address on another forum. I am sorry you are "floored" by my post.

I asked for clarification which I would definitely require of anyone prior to collaborating with them on any project. You never know who you are dealing with on the Internet. Is that so objectionable? I am sorry if you were offended by my post, that certainly was not the intent. Matan repeatedly asks the same questions as if he is looking for help/advice but then does the complete opposite of what more than ten or fifteen people have advised. If he doesn't like the advice of many ferret-knowledgeable people and will not take the advice of a vet, then why should the FMLers be subjected to more infuriating posts by him? He simply does not listen, period! All his posts have done is caused people to worry and be extremely upset that there might be a jill out there who is dying at the hands of a stubborn teenager. In my opinion, this is not any better than the woman in Spokane who injected her ferrets with bleach. Matan knows what is important, yet he is willing to let his jill die because he feels she has a right to have babies and a need to? That, to me is obnoxious and disgusting. We have all tried, but he wont listen so I am not going to provide any more advice. Sorry, you have your opinions and I have mine. You and I have the same goal: healthy, happy ferrets. We just disagree on issues surrounding how to get to that point. Take care, Cap. P.S. Someone once sent me a link to some pictures of you and I must say, you have a really nice boat! Ours is a "hole in the water". [Posted in FML issue 3453]
