Jeff just stop man... you are being ridiculous. You have no means by which to assert this hypothesis that everything contemporarily-speaking w/ temporalis is an intergrade! I mean really? You take a shred of insight or valid thought and massacre it. To claim a wholesale generalization of temporalis is preposterous... you goof! Furthermore, you have no right to whine about the ease of ssp. intergradation in triangulum when you are trying to profit from it w/ getula. Textbook hypocrisy much!



You are treading a thin line with making blanket assertions about breeding practices... and based on what evidence??? Have you seen any field collected temps in recent years? Do you think that since you are unaware that they are not being found? You may wish to email people and ask them before publicly speculating on their stock, breeding, or really anything at all. There are quite a few very well informed people out here... and there are several guys with amazing experience that just do not patronize this forum. You are taking presumption to an art form here... and heed my advice and stop else it'll just appear that with all those amazing things in your illustrious grasp over the years that somehow wisdom slipped through unnoticed.



I'd take a step back and re-assess. You are jumping the gun and it's a discredit to all your claimed experience... alot of what you cite as evidence toward your conclusions is easily dismissed. Frankly, you can be quite deft at discrediting your own argument sometimes. I'd stop while you were ahead and perhaps apologize for insinuating that existing captive lines are all impure and have no traceable pedigree... ouch man. I may have to call Wally and see what he remembers of his many lines of temporalis back in the day. You know ask the guy before assuming on his behalf. To claim what you have with nothing other than a keyboard in front of you as proof is out right improper. Makes me want to question your husbandry practices, your ethics, and your accreditation all simultaneously and publicly. Something I have a founded platform with which to step out on myself.



Warm regards,

Chris
