I agree with Evan, I don't understand the need to have another list for ONLY GSDCA members. Many of the folks on this list might eventually became members, and some on the GSDCA members only list might eventually drop their membership. Should those that drop their membership then take a pill to loose any memories of GSDCA Club business?? Any how, I can barely handle this list.

There are some who think club issues should not be discussed in a public forum. This is an interesting idea, but in my opinion anything that affects our breed, should be open to everyone. That does not make me right, and Iliana is doing what some have requested and set up a location for only GSDCA members. I guess that includes Hunte. Ain't that revolting? I commend Iliana for all the work this is going to take. A while back someone tried to do this, and it failed. I don't know why. I hope this brings some interest and fun to those who are invited to join. If it works, I guess all the GSDCA members can get off the List, but would not have to. For me, I like hearing what members and non-members think about our breed, our club, and the members. But then again I like to listen to everyone, no matter if they are in a club with Andrew Hunte or not. And, there is something wrong with that.
