Syd and all -- I read the email in question this morning and IN NO WAY did I see it as attacking Jim and Edie or I too would have been appalled. I saw the reference to them as an attempt by the author to provide a straight-forward accounting of what the person in question has been involved in, and perhaps to point out that she has fooled good, responsible people into thinking she was a responsible and ethical breeder. For the record there are many others, well known in the breed, who have been aware of some of the short-comings of this breeder for several years.
