AFTER that...Nate requested that Matt share his information freely....which Matt did...and that was perfectly fine. I even said so in this thread. It sparked a very interesting and educational discussion and I have no problem with that whatsoever. Maybe when you have more time, you might go back and reread the first half of this thread again. I'll stand behind that negative rep though...because that (post #5) is no way to dispense medical advice on this site.
My confusion lay in the fact that this message (and Matt's about the neg rep point) came after the post with additional information. But now, I see, that you were just following-up to Matt's post about the neg rep after the fact. Thanks for clarifying. I hope my gibberish didn't confuse things more.

You original post:

That original post you made about this subject makes you sound like some shadowy guy standing in an alley with snakeoil hidden under your trench coat that will "cure anything"...

For what it's worth, I was about to pos rep your follow-up post because it included REAL information that anyone who wished could then ask their vet about. And then this lovely post followed on its heels. I don't have a problem with giving people all the information on something and letting them make their own choices....but this "psssssssst....I have a secret cure if you want to speak privately where no one else can see it"....not gonna fly with me.
Did you end up giving him the pos rep for the information, too? Or did you decide against it? I guess if you want to tell me it's none of my business - it is. So that is alright, too. Just wondering.

Sorry for the hijack.
