If there's a microphone, point toward the Superintendent's table or to the AKC table. It's a shame that AKC didn't see it coming and REALLY make a big effort to put on their "own" show. Get their PR people to get them on some more "friendly" shows. David Frei did it with Uno... and was able to hold his own against a couple of rabid talk show hosts. Maybe with some of this new board, we can get ahead of some of this.
