Redhen Huh. Pretty shocked by your response. I certainly thought I was engaged in a discussion to clarify our positions and share our experiences. The "going and going" was my attempt to discuss and look at the various points you brought up. It now seems to me that I was expected to nod in...

Redhen, I am sorry if you found anything I said to be offensive, but am also genuinely confused as to what that would be. All I'm doing on this end is discussing and clarifying points you brought up. Minx, do you think she'll keep at you about your peafowl? If so, her coming to you might be...
