I think we are missing the point here. The issue is a rule of  the List. If 
the List rules do not allow this, then it should not be done. We  can still, 
if 
we want, send a post to whoever we want through the Internet. But,  when we 
use the List, we must follow the List rules.
------------------------------------------------------
I've just looked through my mail, and I haven't found anything from the list 
administrators which restricts posting show results.  If I missed something, 
please let me know.  In fact, this list has gone out of its way to help to 
provide up to the minute results from the national.
There is no rule against posting show results.  Actually, that has been one 
of the more appreciated subjects over the years.  The only rule that even 
slightly touches on this subject, is the rule against stating where a dog is 
going 
to be shown.  When a dog is entered and shown the first day of a show weekend, 
and show results are sent in a post to the list, that does not necessarily 
state that the dog is also entered the following day or days of that show 
weekend.   Furthermore ... If a judge views show results and that affects the 
outcome of the next day's show, or even the next month's shows, then that is a 
serious problem with that particular judge, not with the list's format.  

The restriction is against stating where a dog is going to be shown.  
Certainly it can be debated whether or not that matters, and for the same 
reason as 
I've typed above.  However, there is another factor that none of you have 
considered which is even more important.  If a particularly good dog's show 
plans 
are posted on the list, that can, and likely will, adversely affect attendance 
at those shows ... even after entries close.  There are people who would 
believe the show is not winnable for their own dog, and they might decide, 
based on 
what they saw on the list, not to attend the show.
