Hello I wanted to respond to the flames from the Anonymous Poster. >I posted the article to let everyone decide for themselves. You don't >have to be psychiatrist to see that things just don't add up. A ferret >described as DEAD is then miraculously alive again! You don't see a >problem with that? For what's it's worth, I do have experience in >diagnosis. I didn't just come up with the idea from reading Psychology >Today. Did you even bother to read the article on Munchausen by >Internet? To the point he has experience in diagnosis heck everyone that's ever been to a physiucan has experience with diagnosis and when I reported that Vinnie might be dead I thought he was but I was in error. Also there has been more then one Vinnie and only two have escaped and never returned the rest have died from disease and one from injury. == >Also if the wanna be was truly professional they would direct there == >comments directly to the individual instead of trying to post a == >bunch of psychology 101 in attempt to damage another individuals == >being, knowingly or unknowingly. >First of all, I did not post the article to hurt or damage anyone.

So to my detractors do you flame everyone that has bad luck with ferrets I remember one person had like 5 ferrets die in 2 years do you call them mentally ill or a criminal? also to your point about Vinnie being dead and then not dead have you never made a mistake in your life there is nothing wrong with making a mistake. If you've never made a mistake I think The Pope wants to see you. Sincerely David Owings Ferrets and Hamsters have a way of weaseling their way into your heart and once they do they never leave and I wouldn't have it any other way. [Posted in FML issue 5122]
