Doomed...???....hardly. I think you overestimate the importance
of this webboard. First, not all glider owners have internet access,
so there are people out there who are doing fine without input from
this board. Second, gliders are alive and well in their natural habitat.
Gliders are not anywhere near being doomed. I believe in what I have been told all my
life, "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything". Being harsh
is never the way to deal with someone asking questions. It is rude to the person
asking the question.

From what I have seen, on this board, certain people on this board jump
on people asking questions. I see less and less real information
about Sugar gliders every time I look on this page. We should just
name this current set of posts the 'Negative things about Gliders' archive.

I don't buy it when people say 'Oh, you don't know how hard it
is for me to read the same question for the 200th time' or 'You don't
know how upseting it is to always seem to be answering the same questions'
My message to these people is: If you are so sick of answering these
questions DON'T ANSWER THEM.

The people I am talking about fall into the same snobby group of
people on the internet who's response to every question about something
is "RTFM" or "Go read the FAQ". All you high and mighty people
not willing to answer a question without becoming 'harsh' to the
asker should remember that at some point and time you had to ask
questions as well.

To end my rant, If I go to my vet to ask her a question. She
doesn't tell me to go read up on it, or do research, she answers
the question, because she loves animals and likes to help others
learn.
: I agree totally. If it weren't for people like Diana and Bourbon(and others)gliders would be a doomed species. Bourbon can be harsh, but what she does is right.
