Well I thought it was an interesting and a sad commentary on our breed and by posting the name I WOULD be stirring up trouble. Sorry you don't think it's beneficial, but then my email box is full of emails every day that don't benefit anyone and are just idle chit chat...perhaps everyone should run their posts by you before they post to the list.
