Goodness, I woke up to this?  O.K.  Cup of tea first.

O.K.

I am a BIG believer in choices.  That's why I fight so hard for our  
choices in our dogs, in my life and for our freedom to choose.  This  
great list, to which I have belonged ALMOST from the beginning, has  
always had a candidates forum (Bios) on their website.  I belong to a  
few more GSD lists (don't post much there:-) and WAY too many  
legislative list.  My choice to stay informed that way.  Until 3 years  
ago, the questionnaire was there for any candidate who CHOSE to avail  
themselves of it.   Three years ago, Becky put together the FREE  
GSDbyDesign online magazine, and when election time came around worked  
up a questionnaire and those who CHOSE turned in the answers.  Many  
people have learned of the free online magazine and it seems to have a  
good following.  A choice to look through it or not.   I have put  
legislative issue and topics on there.  My choice.  The more people  
informed the better, as far as I can see in this issue and many, many  
others.


Personally, I do not know all the candidates and even those of whom I  
have met or seen around the rings are not people with whom I have had  
conversations about GSDCA matters.  Getting to know some of the  
candidates through list chatter has been helpful.  I went through the  
list of candidates for the Board and saw 2 or 3 names that I have  
never seen on THIS list,  and a couple more that  were inadvertent  
cross posts from other lists, so I am *assuming* out of all those  
running that 2 or 3 are not on any list.  Add one or two that are on  
this list through their family members.


However, it is still a choice.  I would like to read and learn more.   
I would like to get to know the candidates through their comments.   
Nothing to bang my shoe on the desk about, but it is my choice to want  
to read the answers and the bios.  If it's schmoozing, then so be it.   
At least the interest is there to let me know more about them.   If  
the GSDCA has a website for this someday, good.  It is another step  
forward in this technological world we live in today.  Reading the  
proposed by-law changes showed that GSDCA was ready to step forward  
( if members vote that way) and so we should we.


Going to bed early, so didn't get a chance to respond to some of it.    
Which is just as well.


As Diane says, not worth arguing about.   Disagreeing and still being  
able to be civil in the sandbox is what I want in the candidate I vote  
for, and that is what I want for myself.   I'm still in the sandbox,  
but I respectfully disagree with some of your comments.


But still HUGS
