The reason I used my sarcastic response was a direct response to you asking where the info I quoted on the DNA was and you saying you don't have my contact info. You know that isn't true by your own admission as I recently purchased by e-mail and phone the Iguana Diploma for Patty. That was a sarcastic response started by you not me. Therefore I reacted in a like manner. You still made NO attempt to answer my question on how Burmese Pythons are going to cross the Gulf Stream to occupy Big Pine Key and devour the Key Deer. This has been quoted regularly by the newsmedia and others. Where are they getting this erronious info from? It can only be coming from a few sources all leading to academics that have a vested financial interest in perpetuating this fable. The fact is you are well aware these snakes CAN NOT EVER GET TO BIG PINE KEY AND THEY WILL NEVER BE A THREAT TO THE KEY DEER. Al I'm not trying to be abrasive but I'm just being truthful. It would be nice for us to all be able to work together but it is us that have been attacked by some of the academic community over and over again oftimes using bad science and just plain lies to finance their own jobs [grants etc]. These faux scientific papers [Rodda for instance] are but a sensational ploy to justify ones own existance at the expense of other people and I, for one, will NOT stand idly by and not speak the truth. Also DNA has been done on the wild snakes. Once again why are the findings not made public so our intentional release of these snakes can be proven? I believe you know the answer to that question as well. If you want respect first you must be able to give respect. Since you quote others from the past Mark Twain I believe once said "it's not what you say that matters but how you say it that counts". I awaight your response once more...thanks
