>>I counted, just as you did with craigslist. There have been at least 10 different(TOTALLY different) people that have engaged you with what should be obvious facts. 48!! 10!! Call us all chicken little? My only question to you is how far in the sand is your head Ms. Ostrich? I assure you, if and when your interests get vested like most of ours you will see the light. Its sad to think someone with so little vested interest is ALLOWED to post 48 times on a topic you obviously care so little about. Imagine me going to a Vets website and posting 48 times in 1 thread about what I think should happen.....and something tells me your not done yet! Go for 50! Go for 100!! You know so much about all of this!!!



Tsk, Jeff, you're regressing back to ranting and raving.



As a herp keeper myself, I have just as much right to post here as anyone else. And I did not start any of these discussions; I simply responded to posts made by others. As for numbers -- it is just as possible for a group of people to be confused, or hysterical, or mistaken, or whatever, as a single person. "Mob rule" and "mass hysteria" are both well-known phenomena. I'm not saying that's what is going on here, of course -- just that numbers do not necessarily correlate with rationality.



Now, as I've said multiple times before, I neither support nor oppose this bill. I, for one, have not seen enough facts from *either* side to reach a firm conclusion one way or the other.



If you (generalized "you" could get over the hysteria and perhaps give more thought to proposing reasonable alternatives to a complete ban, you might make more of an impression on lawmakers. But in any case you need facts and figures -- not just the Chicken Little act.
