I understand where you're coming from, but at the same time I don't see why people would be upset. Yes, they have put in a lot of work and effort into the faqs that have been posted in the (mentioned) sections. (And it's VERY MUCH appreciated.) But, it's not like you're deleting their post and replacing it with yours. It's merely just an addition. I'd like to think of it as a "new edition" of a book. It's not like the information already provided wasn't substantial. It's just that another topic that wasn't covered has been noticeable enough to include with the previous material.
I mean, isn't providing hobbists of corn snakes with information what this forum is about? And as for FAQs, aren't they used to address Frequently Asked Questions? I may be going out on a limb here, but I'd like to think that the material that is covered in this thread is asked pretty often, to the point of frequent.
Meh, but I do understand what you're saying Susan. This is the internet, and some people get a little overzealous with their positions in forums.

Well, if you posted a link to this thread, it would be better than nothing. =) Sorry, for requesting so much and yammering about my own personal thoughts. I just thought I would speak up for those newbies to the hobby and the site, who aren't quite familiar with forum territory. (I didn't realize it, but forums are gigantic. There's always somewhere new to go. It's kinda intimidating.)
And, I just realized that this thread was in your Member's Forum. Wow, I NEVER would have thought to look here for a tutorial on genetics. I'm usually just browsing the general corn snake forum. Once again, THANKS SO MUCH Susan for directing me here. Your tutorial was exactly the "corn snake genetics predictions for dummies" that I was looking for. It was very educational!
I can even kinda understand the punnet square results in MP's genetics program! =) ( Now I just need to learn how to use the darn thing. -.-;;; )
