I would have to question that you actually read through the entire thread then. The OP was not looking for help, there was no question asked; he was instead presenting a hypothesis based on some research that he had done. It was a good starting point, but some of his assessments were flawed because he didnt delve deeper into the topic. I did present evidence and show some of the flaws, but it was largely ignored, which is what you seem to be doing too.
Its a shame, because I think the OP did a good job starting to research the topic. However, it seems like he was unwilling to consider that perhaps he might have been wrong and that a little more research might yield further understanding. Nutrition is a complex topic, and isnt going to be fully understood in a week of cruising websites.
I made a similar mistake when I first started on the forums. I was dead set against feeding mice to savannah monitors ever, and this after only having done some limited research on the topic. Someone called me on it and quite appropriately showed me the limitations of my research. I will admit, it pissed me off at first too, but then led me to research it further so that wouldnt happen again. That guy that handed me my hat is a member here now and I respect his knowledge greatly, though we still disagree from time to time. That argument is probably the only reason Im able to tell you that the initial post here is incorrect though. Kind of cycle of knowledge I suppose.
In my opinion, the exchange and discourse of ideas is a great thing, and should not be taken personally when there is disagreement. We can go back and forth here without hating each other at the end or feeling personally slighted. I hope anyway. Experience is a nasty teacher sometimes, and often misunderstood. So the ability to run ideas like this by each other can be so helpful. Learning from others means we dont have to experience everything ourselves, and can save some heartache as a result.
