First precept: never assume malice where ignorance is the case.  The
*only* reason I posted this in the first case was that I had heard this
from a surreptitious owner of a ferret in California.

There seems to be a lot of people with surprisingly thin skin about this
issue.  I have gotten several flames on this, both in my mailbox and on
this forum.  Calm down, guys -- some people *don't* know it all (myself
included), and would be happy to admit it if only you would present the
facts in a level-headed way.
