That should read 'Any advice'.

it sounds like a reasonable guideline, if you include some lower vertebrates:

What led your python to eat my chihuahua?

Thanks.

You said 'a reasonable guideline' but is it a rule or not?

I don't know-- I'd have to see all the possibilities. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.

Hi,

You also said 'Vertebrates'. Not only that I think. It can be OK for that 'I lead the flower pot to drop', can't it? Any advice?
