That goes for you too, just b/c some of us found it hard to believe and you find it quite believably, dosen't mean that the disbelievers should not post. Is there a problem with questioning the contents of the story? Or should we all just believe everything that is written?
Ah, you beat me to it.

Well sadly, I think this forum has had a bit of a rep in the past of some of the newbs trashing people on poor stocking choices. I've seen people have their heads bit off over the fish in their sig vs. their tank size listed......................then magically, they only have a few fish in their tank after a quick sig edit.
I wasn't disrespectful to Chevo.......I just don't believe him. I think what bothered me the most was that he said he went back to bother the lady. Frankly, I find that ridiculous. Put yourself in her shoes..........I'll use a similar situation.....
Imagine for a moment that you buy a beautiful new potted orchid (a living organism). Now, you're not much of a green thumb, so the plant starts dying after a few days of sitting in the window.
So you put the dried up plant (partly alive) outside in the trash. Then someone comes knocking on your door to ask if they can have this trash you just put out. You figure it's strange, but why not, you were just throwing it out anyway. Then this person uses your property to water the plant, then stick it in a bucket and put that bucket in their "beater" of a vehicle.
You go about your business until there is some more knocking at your door. You answer it and are suddenly faced with the spanish inquisition about your history with the said dying orchid. You're courteous and ask this person to leave, rather than slam the door on their face.
I don't see the difference:
