This is the time of year when we are supposed to be cheery and happy, but it seems that there are an awful lot of miserable people out there...an awful lot of them on this list. There have been more cheap shots, more insults, more totally ridiculous comments passed here in the past few days than I've ever seen in one place before. I don't know what makes some of you so angry, so hateful, so vindictive...and so downright mean. You all need to chill out...take a pill...get drunk...find a friend, if not a shrink.........because there are some seriously demented people on this list. People's private business (or what should be private) is hung out here to be examined by everybody else...are we soon going to have to hear about wife beaters and cheating spouses, or who has a child in reform school, or any other personal stuff? All you nasty folks need to go no mail until you get yourselves under control................some of the rest of us are going to go no mail until next year, because we are sick and tired of hitting the delete button --- we should be sending Christmas (or whatever) greetings, sharing recipes and warm, fuzzy stories...Yes, we Should... I am the owner of an email list, and I can tell you...if anyone on that list sent a post like some I've seen here lately, I'd bounce them so fast their heads would spin. In the meantime, some of you need to learn to spell, and STILL need to know that puppies are BY their sire and OUT OF their dams...no matter how often that appears on the list, the same people keep making the same mistakes............. and I do wish some of you mean nasty people would learn to spell.............. ridiculous does not have an "E" in it, for starters. Whatever anybody sells their puppies for is their business...not the business of anyone else on this list. I can't believe it's been a discussion topic for what, now, three days? See you next year.
