Hey Sue ...rules are rules, and I am pretty good at breaking them, I have been away from the list for awhile and I'm leaving again soon, but I remember the rule against advertising...at the end of all your post you have in capitol letters "new litter due June 29/07"....hum...maybe it's just me, but if that's not advertising I don't know what is, so I don't understand your problem with folks bragging, whether the brags are in or outside of the rules...I am not calling your post hypocritical...but it's sure easy to make that argument..my grand-mother used to say.."it's like the pot calling the kettle black".....Ed Hill Susan Madlung <stormygsd@xxxxxxx> wrote: you are right, the list IS full of rule breakers.. I am included.. so, why are we all so arrogant about it?? rules are rules.. I laugh everytime some one posts an off topic post and adds "to make this dog related..." if you are going to break the rules, do it!! but don't try to hide it with the clarifier that everyone sees through..LOL!!! It is the sheer size of this list that warrants the rules.. the Admin do an awesome job of keeping things under control, they allow for the "indiscretions" and that good.. but let's try not to burden them with vast numbers of them or they will end up having to clamp down because of the increased volume of server traffic that results.. ok, I'm going to work..
