    I hope when I'm old, I have the good sense to know when to stop giving
    one-sided, have-to-do-it-my-way opinions.
    I've read your posts for quite a while Linda and I have to say that you
    have enough knowledge to get by, but you do have a way of implying that
    it has to be done your way without any other options. And when YOU
    disagree with someone else's methods, you find a way to put a dig in
    for something not being "natural" or the way it's done in that god-
    forsaken state of Oklahoma.
    Oh, and by the way, I find it so amusing that when asked a genetics
    question you dance around and squirm without an answer. Seems to me
    that a quality "breeder" would know what happens when you mix black and
    white.

    nite all,
