 I'm the equine equivalent of an OB/GYN.  You like it precise--so go ask the 
guys who do it.  I gave you two great sources.  I'm sure they'd be glad to 
talk to you.  Unlike some folks, I know better than to try to be all things 
to all people.  Go do your own homework.  "Not believing" is in the same 
realm as "believing."  Neither concept belongs in an open mind.

This is an open forum, have your "experts" come on and back you up with a 
description of their techniques. You hesitate to stick your foot in your 
mouth--do they? 

Not asking you to be all things to all people, just to back up your rantings 
with a little fact. Supposedly you've witness some miraculous cures with 
equince chiropractics--just describe what happened physically to the horse. 
Supposedly you were there. Supposedly you have some sort of medical 
background. Supposedly you have a functioning brain and the ability to read 
and write. 

Having an open mind doesn't mean that you accept every bit of claptrap that 
comes down the pike. "Open" is one word; "mind" is another. If you don't have 
a critical faculty, you're a helpless sailor on a veritable sea of 
misinformation. In this group, you're a major contributor to that 
misinformation. That's because you make pronouncements before you think about 
them. Your friends do the same thing, and you're all insulted when called to 
account. 

If you will think before you write, or avoid proclamations about things that 
are patently untrue, then you'll have no trouble with me. If you persist in 
the other direction, you can expect a healthy argument. If you take offense 
to that, it's ok by me--I take offense to misinformation--it muddies the 
water when I'm seeking clarity.
