In the ago there was a committee that set the ratio of articles to advertising for the Review. I believe this was done to make sure the Review did not run too deeply in the red. Long story short, if there is not enough advertising dollars the articles are limited. If I am wrong on this I am sure someone will jump in and correct me. Their was also a Review committee that either approved or rejected articals that went into the Review so there is more to this problem that you might think. A camel is a horse by committee.

Why don't we all just stop complaining and give this new board and new president some time to see what they can do. Gail reads all these posts, whether or not she responds, we see her name often enough here to know she is one of us 'listers'. She knows how we feel. It would be nice if she would accept any and all assistance offered to her. We all have times of great need for help from others. But she seems an indpendant soul. That is at the moment a problem but it might one day be a blessing too. I have noticed that there are some here who use this as a platform for complaints and complaints alone. Life is just not perfect, everyone goes the 'wrong' direction at some time. Entries are down, judges are crooked, the Review is laughable. The best teams are going to the Superbowl, the worst teams are going, it depends who you ask. If everyone contributed one small article to Gail for publication, about what you love or hate about your dogs, dog shows, bloodlines, something!, it might get published, thent he Review would be that much bigger. But to spend my time reading over and over about how the Dallas club is making a mistake, or one person there is destroying the club, and all this other negative stuff is, frankly, not the way I want to spend my time reading about our dogs. I like the discussions on what to do, how this person does that, and so on. I love the ligitmate questions about dogs. But the vicious ramblings of people with a bone to pick, it is just enough! I have dog shows to get entries for, so does Mike Gray, what do you all say we try to fill up dog shows, and make better dogs, and spread some love here!!!!
