Beautifully said.....
: : Bourbon, I appreciate your informative notes and answers on this board - but i'm afraid you're giving the impression it isn't just your opinion, but that you are the foremost authority on Sugar Gliders. I don't mean to sound rude or hurt your feelings, but I think we all have a lot to offer as Sugar Glider owners, big and small.
: Nothing, you said here, refers just to Bourbon. There are many people that contribute informative notes and answers to many more posts than Bourbon does. Is everyone, now required, by you, to inform people in their post, that it is only their opinion? If someone doesn't tell people first, then YOU will think they are professing to be the foremost authority on Sugar Gliders. Why then, was Susan, Cynthia, Jane, Maria, Meme, Tiffany, Daze, and SlimBuddha, not called attention to as well? These people also post very informative notes and answers, and I never see them write, that it is only their opinion. Maybe it is, because it is a forum, a message base, which means that it is automatically assumed to be the opinion of each person that posts. I went back after reading this post and tried to see what Bourbon said or infered, that might have given you the reason to single Bourbon out from the rest of the regular posters. I could not find anything that was any different in Bourbons posting that wasn't in some of the other people I mentioned. I don't even know if Bourbon is a male or female. What I do know, is that, Bourbons input, is only that, Bourbons input. Everyone has control of their own keyboard and I have never seen where Bourbon has told anyone they couldn't post their own opinions. What I did see, is that Bourbon has spent a lot of time, as myself and others have, coming here to try to help others. I hope that everyone that reads this post, puts their own name in the place of Bourbons, this post wasn't directed to just Bourbon, It was directed to all of us that answer any question that has been, or ever will be asked in this forum. This to me, is sad to see. When I read the answers to questions, I see a variety of ideas. Thats what it is supposed to be. Maybe next time, it will be you, someone else or even me. I also want to take this chance to say Bourbon you are only one voice, but every voice has a right to be heard, so you be sure that we still hear yours amoung all of the others here. I too am GUILTY for giving answers to questions, so you are not alone. I am not leaving my e-mail address because there is nobody here that I want to email me.
