I don't no how any of the rest feel about this but I for one DID NOT FEEL THAT THIS WAS MENT TO BE MEAN AT ALL!!!!!!! And I can't belive that this is going on and on when is it going to stopo Lew: You wrote: For all of you who have never read the P&P, go read it, look at many, many areas that need changing. This is NOT about the person and you all should be ashamed for being so mean and nasty. And ONE more truth. There was NOTHING in the RFP for the Editor about showing or not showing dogs. First let me state that I have read the P&P manual and realize that there may be some overlaps that need reviewed. However, Joan has provided a valuable service in putting this online for our members to review. I encourage everyone to read the P&P because knowledge is a powerful thing. I have also read all of the posts regarding the selection of the Review Editor and I am unable to find a single one that says anything "mean or nasty" regarding the person selected. I do find, however, many questions regarding the selection process used and obvious violations of our stated policies and procedures. As to your "ONE more truth".....if in fact there was nothing in the RFP for any applicant for the editor position about showing or not showing dogs (which is clearly stated in the P&P) then the entire process is invalid because of our stated policy which cannot and should not be changed after the fact. Another question I have had and would like to have an answer to: Is it possible that any of the applicants in their RFP (having read the P&P) requested an exemption from the P&P policy in order to accept the position if offered?
