It is not an issue to ask questions at all. However I have seen many email posts and facebook statuses from folks not just asking questions but making statements like "glad I'm not going" "this is why I'm not going" "this national is a joke or mess" and many other negative and nasty comments. Mainly from people who have never been to the Purina site or that do not plan to go anyway. Questions are almost always good. Negativity is like a virus and spreads with no regard to the best interest of those involved.
