I agree there is nothing wrong with being smarter (or better-read) than the average bear ... nor is there anything wrong with being a novice.

But all your use of %s, hyphenated words, etc. made me think you sounded like me (lol), and then it got me wondering as to who you are

In dogs, everybody needs to concentrate on looking over their shoulders ... and assessing who their company is.

So you either seem like a novice to me ... who is going to wind up doing very well (if you stick with it) ... or you seem like a cop/HSUS researcher who's wanting to gather a lot of information

I looked at your stats, and IP address, etc., and (if accurate) you're pretty young, so I guess I will be giving you the benefit of the doubt.

So, good luck,

Jack
