Hi All
 I have been away from the list , or deleting, like many due to the flood of
nastiness, rumor mongering, lies, conjecture
and "Armchair Quarterbacking" being done by so many.   I love a lively
conversation, <g> but I have not
seen too much that I would wish to comment on , lately.  Not that the issues
are not important, but the way
they have gotten so malicious in many cases.....just not worth it.
I do hope however, that when people go to the National, that they will not
behave this way in person.
It is beneath us all as an organization of folks, dedicated to the greatest
breed , ever.

I hope that (like me) those of you with friends on BOTH sides of issues, are
not judged for hugging , greeting,
dining with or speaking to someone with whom others may take issue.    I
would hate to think that anyone
would have to think twice about greeting a long time friend, or someone they
admire or have wanted to meet, for fear
of being labeled:  " on this side"   "On that side".    I hope that the
daggers are sheathed, and the barbs thrown herein,
are put away.

I would like to believe the BEST of my fellow members, and hope that we can
celebrate our breed, our BIGGEST SHOW,
and the coming together of friends and acquaintances , that may only see one
another every year or so.

Personally, I don't give a damn what people think of who's side I am on, or
not.   My opionions of some of the issues
surrounding the club are only that.  They don't make me who I am.   My
dedication to the breed, My Family, My Friends
and my Country, supercede the politics  of a dog club.  When I see people ,
esp at a National, I am not thinking about
"club business"  or the latest nasty.....I am thinking "Wow it is really
great to see you again!  (or maybe for the first time)"
So I will be hugging , kissing , shaking hands, meeting,  dining and talking
with a LOT of people.......I can't wait. Hope the
rest of you will be doing same.

What a party!!!
Kathy Tank (who can't wait to see you all)
