I think in the long run all the secrecy will end up doing more harm then good. I've always believed that everyone benefits from a free flow of information.
If you had a project that you had invested more than what most people's car is worth, would you want every tool out there on the internet knowing exactly what's going on with it, and probably taking every opportunity to take advantage of that information? The fact is that if you are interested in the project and are serious about getting into it, that breeder will tell you everything you need to know. Just because it's not public on the internet doesn't mean that the information isn't out there. The internet is a big part of the hobby for most of us, but it is truely a small part of the industry as a whole.

Don't feel like anyone is rubbing anything in your face - it's just marketing...are you offended by all the exotic sports cars behind that glass at the Ferrari or Porshe dealership? I look at so called "unattainable morphs" the same way...

All of those "holy grail" type morphs would not exist if it weren't for the demand for them and the financial gains that once could receive by satisfying that demand. If ball morphs weren't worth anything, would a trapper in africa dig through the dirt to find them? Would a breeder in the US pay thousands of dollars to get it exported? Would that breeder invest in caging, racks, rat colonies, buildings, etc etc in order to reproduce those animals? Just food for thought...
