Coming to my mind (can I say 'shut up Paul?'), is a post by a newcomer who commented on the lively discussions we were having regarding the Illustrated Standard and titles at both ends, etc. This newcomer was thrilled to see us with so much passion for the breed. What a breath of fresh air! I was too busy being contentious at the time, but, now, welcome, welcome, another passionate person, and not afraid to see, "hear" and feel! We did not scare this person away, he is one of us!
