As I've said before, I'm leaving the Rodda et al. stuff to Rodda et al. to defend.
I have admired the Barkers since I was a kid but that paper was full of errors (see my other reply for a more thorough discussion on that paper).
I've never given you my opinion on the Rodda et al. paper. I have repeatedly said that it is "not my department."
I will admit that my peers do have some influence over what I believe but so do you and everyone else on these forums. I've kept pet snakes for nearly two decades and I defend that interest as much as I defend the work that we do with pythons. I've also been in open disagreement with state and federal authorities regarding policy in ENP. I can (and do) think for myself and voice my opinion.
Let's not forget that when we had this discussion on another forum nearly everyone there came to my defense and said you were the one who was biased.
Mike
