I don't know, just my two cents worth...

I can understand that point of view... the surprising everyone part is fun! As long as the pairing is revealed after the fact. I can't stand it when I see a really sweet ball python on my news feed on facebook, and you ask, what combo is this? And they won't tell you. That's the stupidest BS I have ever heard of. I have even seen snakes for sale from "secret" projects... people buy them? what the heck?! Obviously, that is not where Jeff is going with it... we are talking off the deep end crazy paranoid python people here! If they are really that worried about their competition stealing you ideas something is wrong. If you uphold a good reputation, you will sell your snakes and make your claim to fame no matter what the other people are doing.
