E-mail me I have some questions that are long and un-interesting to taxidermists :)

You can email me if you like - Im just on my way out now...
Or post your questions anyway - I'm far from the only person who is into osteological stuff here. Superpig and Taxidermologist just off the top of my head are 2 others who are interested and knowledgable in this field. Whichever you prefer though...
While Raven may indeed answer your every question, he has only one view on a particular problem you are having. And while you may only get his answer here (since many of us are busy much of the time), a similar question in the future may be posted and a detailed private email may have been deleted by then. WASCO, and Mr. Edwards, has done a great service to the industry to maintain the archive which allows questions to be answered once in detail and then archived for the future. In other words - post your question here if it is taxidermy or osteological in nature.
Besides - it makes me feel uncomfortable being singled out anyway - LOL!
Power was out for 13 hours. Chilly in the house, one good reason to have a non-electric natural gas heater in the bug house though, keeps it from freezing even if the containers are a little chilly. That will stress a guy out.
I certainly was in no way circumventing the teaching purpose of this board. If I felt the discussion would be of some great value, I would have posted it. I asked Raven to e-mail me because his area of expertise is masceration and I am interested in doing some experiments. I wasnt excluding anyone, but I generally agree more closely with his answers. I apologize if some of you dont agree with that.
I am not having a problem that I need Raven to solve, and I think in some instances private conversations are just as apropriate, there are lots of things about osteological prep that I dont share on this board, maybe I wanted to make a "How to" manual/video some day, no one would buy it if I explained it all here! :)
So, Raven if you get a minute drop me an e-mail so I can discuss some experiments and methodology that I have been pondering, thank you.
