I do not appreciate your accusation...not one bit. If you knew me or anything about me, you'd know that I avoid anything to do with the AKC every chance I get. No, I do not want the AKC involved. However, those of us who are involved with other breeds know how the AKC has involved itself...and if you realized that Lew has consulted AKC over and over again about recent problems, Margy's lawsuit is well known to the AKC, and the person who drafted the charges against the Exec. Committee was consultlng on an almost daily basis with the AKC as well. I am trying to make people realize that this may not be an issue that will go away, as Lew has told us it will, when a new set of Officers and Board are elected. You can keep thinking positive, which is a good thing...I just want people to be aware that there is precedent for the "sky falling," as you choose to put it. I keep repeating the warning in hopes people will stop feeding the frenzy.......I happen to think it's better than burying my head in the sand.
