I guess I am wierd. (Shut up Paul), but I don't see the need for an apology. Bob stated an opinion. It is a valid opinion, and for that we should all stop carping on every little point and thank him for expressing himself. Not to be confused with expressing an anal gland. We all state what we feel and believe. If it does not match someone else's opinion, that is good. That is how we get to consider new points and often change our minds. The issue about Tacoma has been mentioned a lot. It was interesting at the time, and I was pleased to see Tacoma go to a home where he was so loved. Betty did what she wanted to do, and think what a shame it would have been had she not been able to buy a dog she cared so much for just to avoid some people thinking evil thoughts. Let's stop jumping on every little thing, and start finding ways to enjoy our sport more.
