Subject: The FAQ vs my VFT

I just had a look at the new FAQ and I'm still concerned about just how
difficult growing a VFT indoors sounds. My VFT grows very happily right
along side my other housplants. The only difference being the 2:1
peat/sand medium and slightly more frequent watering with distilled water.
It grows great, and has been for about 6 months now - traps are an inch
and a half and dark red. Is my success unusual? Is it a function of the
location of where I live? Should I be careful to not get too attached to
it because it will probably die soon?

I am fully willing to defer to someone with more experience than me; I'm
just confused, that's all.

I'd like a second opinion.
