Board matters used to be discussed also. The Futurity was frequently a
topic of discussion. And most of the time discussions were civilized and
interesting.

Oh, Carolyn, I so agree. The in-depth subject DO come up, but not
with the frequency as before. Because I didn't know anybody, and knew
less, this list during the late 1990's, and on, was an education.
When you all started writing and exchanging ideas, it led me to books
and articles and I got such an education.
The "in-depth" posts, as I said still come up and I do hope that those
who post them understand that they are NEVER repeats.... in each one
of them, there is a nugget that wasn't mined before.
I don't mind the OT posts as long as they are short-lived (one day???
LOL) and it's fun to have a sense of humor inserted, but they DO take
away from what we can learn and what you all can share.
So, those of you out there who can educate us, Please chime in with
your great experiences and knowledge.

I'm not on Facebook as I just don't have the time...so I don't really
know whether or not
that is part of the reason the List is not getting many posts.
BUT...it could be as I know
I'm not even involved in it .....and I get hundreds of invites....so
it has got to be very time
consuming just to keep up. There is no way I have time for it.
I think the List rules are more than fair and very necessary as has
been shown more
than once .........when we don't follow the rules.... we have
problems. <G>
( would be great to post photos....but it's a huge list to handle that )
All I know is it sure isn't what it used to be regarding discussions
about our show
dogs......even though it IS a list for SHOW GSD's.
Used to be great discussions about the Standard, movement, faults,
correct structure,
what to strive for......what to be concerned about according to what
we are seeing...shows,
conditioning, grooming........etc. Hardly see that anymore.
Mostly all off topic.
A GREAT group on this List for helping quickly with advice on
problems, help for almost
any question......willingness to help with almost any problem.
But great in depth discussions about the Breed.........really
lacking. I miss that.

I find Face Book like trying to read a bowl of Alphabet soup. All
these subjects going on at the same time.
Throw in a few senseless games. 40 Me To comments, pix of grand kids.
I just don't like it.
Plus every single time I go there I pick up spy wear. I don't use it
at all.
In fact I wish I could just make it go away. Terry

I have been asked often to join Facebook. The latest was from a top
music
producer. Today I got a reminder that he asked me to join a
network, I
think it was something like Linkline. I just ignore them.
I know for a while I was on Facebook because a client wanted me to see
her
audition for Orange County Housewives and to watch it she put me on
Facebook.
I got over 300 application to be a friend to people. They were mostly
people
who I thought I already was friends with, and so I asked my young
secretary
to get me off the system.
I have enough to deal with trying to keep up with the List. I can't
imagine where
I would find the time to do anything else. I doubt I will ever join a
social network.
Either on the internet or in person.
I am becomming less social as I get older, and never started out to be
a joiner.
And, no, I do not want to meet singles over 60, or to find out about
retirement homes, or how to enlarge body parts, or to buy drugs on
line, even if
Viagra is half price. And, other than the four hour thing, 1/2 off does
not paint a pretty picture.
Who have these people been talking to?
