Ugh, this guy... Don't tail a cohesive argument because you couldn't form your own, bro.

Anyway, speaking of this argument, I have something for those involved (mostly just crocdoc) to consider.

You said yourself that these discussions are meaningful, ultimately, for the purpose of informing others. I agree. However, I do not think you have done that. All that you really did was show a bunch of photos of termite mounds with holes in them. Yes, yes, but the "telltale scar"? Well, while you and Retes may see them for what you have alleged them to be, they simply remain anonymously-invaded termite mounds to everyone else. I am telling you that is not conclusive evidence of anything, and until those photos include someone tearing it open and pulling out lacie eggs, it will remain evidence of nothing.

Who cares if some guy got a shot of a female lacie in a tree? You just came down on someone else for nonsensical proof... But you just did the same thing.

...Do they teach the scientific method in Australia? :P

Seriously, I commend anyone for hatching a bunch of varius. I don't mean to be insulting, but you must understand that you have done nothing for yourself here. You have not show any concrete evidence of lace monitors as obligate termite nesters, and that is a fairly bold claim. All you did was successfully engage Retes.
