Please keep this stuff off the list, it will only serve to upset others, and it is airing your private laundry in our public view. This sort of behavior can only do damage to all involved and spook newbies. And here I am trying to get some very very very new people on the list so they can learn about our dogs. OUR DOGS not our business. This is depressing to see! And Tom is right. sheila Susan Madlung <stormygsd@xxxxxxx> wrote: thanks, Pat for my evening entertainment!! Sheesh!!

This will be the last I address this subject now that I know you have finally received the checks. As you can see, however, there was not one but two checks held onto and I also know for a fact that other checks from other people have been held for an extended period of time. I also know that both past and present volunteer Boards "bust their butts" and try to do their best under trying circumstances and complaints. This is not unique to you and Dania. My apolgoies if that offends you or this list. You and Dania both received adequate communication regarding this matter and the last time was late June to which I received snippy response telling me you do not hold checks. The breeders directory > check did not appear for clearance by my bank until the end of June and was issued several months prior. The ad check you just now deposited and it was issued in March. Reasonable to question this by anyone including myself. > While the posting maybe inappropriate when no response is forthcoming what alternative is left. Certainly not intended to stir the pot as you suggest. Since when is it a big deal when a member asks a legitimate question to which you have the answer and then is made out to be a bad person or troublemaker with agenda for asking that question? If my two checks are any example of others then it is a problem that needs addressing. Patty ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
