I ask this, why would I have to reassure myself. The question is, is the distance between my experience and others to great to have a mutual understanding. I wonder that. To me, thats the reason for riddles. They are not riddles to me. To me, its common understanding, or proven understanding.

I do not mean none of this as bragging, but how can there be an understanding when I have had thousands of clutches with someone who has five or ten? To me, if you think you should understand me, then your saying, we do not learn from each and every clutch. Or each and every breeding, or each and every generation. I MENTION this to indicate, there is something there.

I know, when I had under 50 clutches, I did not know anything. In fact, I tell folks, I really do not learn about a species until after several generations. And theres a simple reason, after many generations, you STOP shootgunning and learn what is actually needed.

You see Mike, when I had a few dozen clutches, I hoped, I theorized, I tried everything under the sun.

So no, I do not think we should agree. Or even why we should. So all I can offer is What it takes to do this and that. And I show it. And I answer the best I can, even if you cannot understand it.

I will say, I will steadfastly refuse to agree on a subject for social reasons, particularly when the lives of monitors are at stake.

Anyway, good bye for a while, I am going bush. Cheers
