I think that posts 16,19 and 24 clearly show what the response to offering unsolicited advice as to the proper way to do things would be. As far as band wagon jumping goes. This is not an opinion I just acquired today, and I would say 15 years of keeping hots and still haveing all 10 fingers is a testimate to doing things the safest way possible.

Do you not understand when a poster shares pictures of an event that happened a few years ago in which he has pinned a snake and a fellow forum member comes on here and says "the only reason to pin a snake is to look macho" where the abrasive feelings come from? That is a legitimate question I believe. The problem I see on many forums is people want to point out what they perceive as a wrong doing then add a little jab at the end. The macho comment was pointless and in no way could be deemed as helpful advice. Im all for advice on here, heck I've posted a bunch of questions and got great help in response. I just wish some people were more tactful in the way they present advice ie: no need add comments such as "trying to be macho" or "next time you handle a snake you might want to know the scientific name."
but that's me and I don't expect everyone to see it my way but I will point out when I think someone uses poor taste in a response.
