Paula-
I have nothing against you or anyone on this list. Just giving my opinion,
and I will be the classy one here and say I am done arguing. I'm on here to
learn, not to fight with someone I don't know. Have a great day and Thanks
to everyone for their comments on this matter. All I wanted to do is get
the word out about Banfield-Mission Accomplished :o)
