Pat, I think this a list that encourages posts about rescue and anti-doglegislation. And I think (hope?) that list members DO want to hear about both issues, along with health and a wide range of topics. Hearing about the wins, the discussions about past dogs, genetic information, etc., etc., makes this list unique. I read every post that you all write about rescue and do my little bit (mostly small donations now) to help. I think the majority on this list do the same. I know that many of my anti-animal legislation posts get deleted, but many are read, too. Trying to pass information without overwhelming is a balance. So, while it's a conformation list, if "some" don't want to read certain subjects, there are so many others from which to choose. Good going Administration!!!!
