In the meantime, do you ever consider how many people you may actually hurt. I appreciate Arlene taking time to post, but I try not to hurt anyone. But, I have found when you expose problems, you often get blamed for the problem, never credit for the information. I am used to that, and accept it. I have read nothing but names on the other lists being sent to me. Now, to be fair, I am on no other lists, and what is sent to me might be only the hostile posts. On this List I have had people tell me it is not as angry as others, and yet, here we have someone who thinks this List is hurtfull. Interesting how people see things so differently. But they certainly have the right to do that. I do see humor in most of life, as should we all. If you doubt this, try to explain what is going on with this club to someone who does not show dogs. Or try to explain why you pay to have someone handle a dog, to someone that never competes in anything. Or, the ultimate, try to explain why you pay the male dog for sex. If you can't laugh, you are stuck in a very dark place. Some people enjoy that, I do not. If I agitate you on the List, that means I have made you think. Sorry it it hurts, but, "No pain, no gain." Not that there is anything wrong with that.
