I do not personally have strong feelings in relation to either side, and think that some on each side of the debate have mentioned very worthwhile points but there has also been more than a bit of pettiness on each side. I loved it when a constructive person suggested that it is possible to work in some dialogue that could discourage casual buyers who do not take needs like expensive ferret veterinary care into account. That was my favorite post since it presented a solution. There is one thing i want to add. We have a friend who is a horror movie scream queen, writer, and producer. To finance film making, which is her career preference, she got a degree in one of the high paying financial fields. For a good many years she had to work that job fulltime to support her other job. Filmmaking is costly and it is not unusualfor people in the industry to have other employment as well. That is a difficult and exhausting way to live and not all have the stamina to do it. So, just because there are some in the movie industry who do well financially never assume that is the norm because it is more typical for the people to either live verymodestly or to work other jobs at the same time or both.
