Lucky Glider, do you have some pics of the hold you are describing? I can't see it in my mind.
Gosh...so much anger over a simple article...one person's opinion and there are personal attacks on people...
I personally find nothing wrong with the article itself. Nowhere does it say squeeze the daylights out of your suggie til it's eyes pop, and it discusses biting not only as an agressive behavior but also natural curiosity.
