I break lots of list rules, but not that one....cuz I have no friends to forward it to.....the list is pretty much open to any one who wants to join, I too wonder why some one would want posts forwarded to them....just join....Ed Hill ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stormy Hope" <Stormy435@xxxxxxx> To: "GSD List" <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, February 18, 2011 9:42:04 AM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] MY Turn I set this aside for a day, thinking if I wanted to send it.  And I  still do.  I am NOT acting as an administrator for this list on this  post.  These are my thoughts as a 15+year Showgsd-l List Member and a  person who calls many of you my very good friend.  I actually give MY  permission for this to be forwarded, but you MUST ask ADMIN for their  permission, too Storm Listers: All you listers who take list posts, forward them and/or call all your  friends who are  not on the list and read a post, ANY POST, to them,  are being unethical, dishonest and deceitful.   Each one of you agreed when you agreed to list rules that the list  posts would not be forwarded off the list.  To read the post verbatim  to others is absolutely the same thing, IMO.  This has been done  forever, and I can not, for the life of me, figure out why somebody would be so dishonest as to basically  and in effect, sign your name that you would do (or not do)  something,then immediately turn around and do it over and over. However, the amount of forwarding posts from this private list is is  beyond comprehension to me, and perhaps to many of us. I have to  wonder the purpose behind it... to be helpful and kind?  Or hurtful?  (Would somebody be hurt if what is construed to be hurtful never left  the list???)  To be "the first" to spread gossip?  or to think it a  "favor?" On the other hand, I guess I should warn anybody who posts on this  list that your posts have not been,nor ever will be private.
