While it is true that there needs to be more thought and research put into this planned breeding, this is not the proper way to advise someone. You draw more flies with honey than vinegar. We need to be prepared to educate people, offer sound advice, ect. NOT just jump down someones throat. The tone here is not the proper way to get to the point you are trying to get to here. All this will do is cause the person to leave the group, breed anyways, and have no one to turn to. Should this person put a lot more thought into this? Definitely....but lets educate, not annihilate. Marsha
