I think I can relate to what you are all saying even though I am not a breeder. I have a girl I work with who all the time asks me how I think she should handle a certain situation, then when I tell her what I think she immediately goes and asks someone else as if my answer wasn't good enough or the right one. Sometimes, I think she just doesn't want to go to the trouble of extra work because I'm one of those people who really likes to dot all the "I's" and cross all the "T's". That's essentially what happens a lot of times here... someone asks what you think and then when they get your honest opinion, they argue with it or discount it in someway. I guess, whenever you deal with other people no matter the subject, that is sometimes what we get. But just because they discount your opinion, doesn't mean you aren't right. I wouldn't argue, everyone is allowed their opinion and I wouldn't get all upset because truthfully, they aren't worth it if that is how they are. But please don't stop educating all of us who really do pay attention to what you say and really do learn from you. You might not know it because we just read the threads and try to absorb all the knowledge and don't really feel like we have anything worthwile to share but you have made a difference, that I can promise. |
