**trust me it gets old being the only one with balls enough to call bull[bleep] every single time I see it. **



I'm happy for you and your balls. You sure don't act like it gets old to you - seems as if it is your main reason for getting up in the morning. But your closed minded attitude and continuous attacks serve to leave people with a sense of 'rule by intimidation' on this forum and prevent people who might want to post from posting. Negating lineage out of hand or patently calling everyone liars is entirely ridiculous. NOTHING can be proven unless you collected the animals yourself, bred them yourself and sold them yourself. So lets give people a little bit of credit that they're not continually trying to pass off crap. It all comes back to trusting the person you get them from. I can clearly see that you don't trust anyone and therefore probably only will be satistied if you or your horde collects them. Fine. If people don't trust me that's on them, I couldn't care less. Pick and choose your battles instead of battling everyone all the time.



**Pretty soon I'm going to leave ya'll to wallow with your breeders of "great integrity" that can't tell a freaking Hueco from a Black Gap.**



Don't tease us if you're not serious!



**In the mean time maybe someone can take note of the breeders who actually document the animals and lineage they breed. Something is wrong if you have to do your own digging. DUH.**



What would constitute a documentation in your mind?



**In the mean time maybe someone can note the difference between a LOCALITY animal and a 10th generation line bred that no longer represents the locality label. If not you are doing BOTH a disservice.**



Here we have found your sensitive spot. While you are correct that a 10th generation line bred animal would probably bear no resemblance to one that you would catch from the same locality in the wild, you are incorrect in making the assumption that something removed from the wild for 10 generations is not a locality animal. Regardless of what happens down the line of two wild caught animals - 10 generations later as long as the bloodline has remained true, the fact that they are selected for pattern/color does not negate their locality.
