"Still, I do have my doubts concerning it's purity (as I do with many of the LA Pines displayed on this forum) though, especially with this morph popping up. On the other hand, with all these generations of LA Pines being produced, anomalities like this one will happen sooner or later, regardless of purity."
It's sad that so many people feel this way about ruthveni, especially when some of us go to great lengths to investigate the lineage of not only lines of animals but actual specimens in particular.
As many of the heavy hitters have stated, and what I do believe to be reality, "there are likely many more pure animals out there compared to hybrids." And "people are overwhelmingly paranoid." (two quotes from a recent e-mail exchange)
It goes to show that regardless of just how deep you dig, and how hard you investigate some people will never be convinced. As with many things, trust and believing in people's ability to be righteous plays a big part---particularly in this hobby. I am glad it's still fun for me, anyway.
