Amy is right, I have friends from other breeds talking about it, but they are not laughing. They are contacting their BOD and asking for a review on their by laws,so "we don't go thru what the GSD people are going thru". I expected that reaction. Very few are laughing, tho plenty are shaking their heads. Ileana In a message dated 2/6/2007 8:19:46 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, almanya@xxxxxxxxxxxxx writes: It was on the Pap list too. A friend sent it to me. But they are using the information constructively to tie up their own loose ends so this doesn't happen to their club. They weren't laughing. They were however appauled that members of the Board would vote against the membership's wishes. But then i don't think there is anyone thrilled with that.
