Tom, you know that I respect your opinions, but in "real life" EVERYBODY has the right to be informed. It is their right, AND their responsibility. Nobody makes me read the newspapers and listen to TV. It's my right, AND my responsibiltiy. No, it is not a GSDCA requirement to belong to this list, but I joined to be part of "the fancy" and to learn more about it. My desire to be informed about all aspects of the German Shepherd Dog world. I chose to be responsibly informed. I joined GSDCA for that reason. It is our "right" and our "responsibility". You and others started this list for a good reason. To inform. It was our "responsibility" to take advantage or it. Our responsibility to read the Review, to learn about the GSDCA bylaws and P&P. And to read what others say on this list...you (and once in a great while...me), included.
